The Omni American Review
A cultural complement to the Civil Rights Movement
The name of our publication is an homage to The Omni-Americans, Albert Murray’s 1970 book written from the heights of his Harlem apartment where Murray redefined the lines of American identity. By exploring the arts and intellectual life and celebrating the depths of American culture, The Omni-American Review likewise aspires to be a spiritual-intellectual home for those who know that “for all their traditional antagonisms and obvious differences, the so-called black people and the so-called white people of the United States resemble nobody else in the world as much as they resemble each other.”
