It is our pleasure to bring you the next exciting issue of
Genesis Science Fiction Magazine. It is important to get our images out to
the public through our independent efforts. And it’s equally important for
future generations that we make our mark by telling our stories, and
sharing them with the world.
Story: Cygnus Loop
This issue is our Black History Month issue. As we acknowledge and
give honor to our ancestors and our past, we chart a course toward our
future; and we do our best to build our body of work from foundations that
were laid by creators that have come before us. Thus, we salute our
predecessors that have blazoned the path for us to follow, such as: Charles
W. Chesnutt, Sutton Griggs, Frances Harper, Martin Delany, Pauline
Hopkins, Edward A. Johnson, George Schuyler, Thomas Mofolo, JeanLouis Njemba Medou, Muhammadu Bello Kagara, Abubakar Imam, Félix
Couchoro, and Mäkonnen Endalkaččäw … and so many others too
numerous to name. To them we give thanks and honor. We sincerely
hope you enjoy Genesis Science Fiction Magazine!
