PROVISIONAL evidence grade of this record

The Soulful Book Fair Foundation is the organizing body of record for the Soulful Chicago Book Fair, named as the fair's organiser in its 10times event listing. Kirkland-circle publicity describes it as “The Philanthropic Soulful Book Fair Foundation,” providing hundreds of Black authors, poets, and composers the opportunity to share their work, and it maintains its own site at SoulfulBookFairFoundation.org. Beyond those listings, the Foundation's governance, filings, and history are not independently documented in sources located for this packet: this record is carried at Provisional grade, and no tax-exempt status is asserted for it.
