<p style="margin:0in;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Garamond,serif">The year 2024 marks the beginning of the critical dystopian future Octavia E. Butler (1947-2006) envisioned in her groundbreaking novel,
<i>Parable of the Sower</i>. Her fiction and the story of her life compel us to reckon with power, leadership, creativity, the Earth, human relationships, and the unknown possibilities that await us in the stars. Now, intellectuals from different communities
gather to contemplate her legacy. This conference asks how we have learned from Butler’s writing and what her archive at the Huntington—a short distance from where the author spent her formative years in Pasadena, California—can help future generations discover.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
