Local community members and leaders will travel to Dexter Elementary School Friday to participate in the school’s African American Read-in Chain. Visitors will celebrate literacy and Black History Month by reading selected works authored by African Americans or books about notable African Americans or Africans.
Background:
The first National African American Read In was sponsored by the Black Caucus of National Council of Teachers of English in 1990. More than a million readers of all ethnic groups from 50 states, the District of Columbia, the West Indies and other African countries have participated in such programs in the last 27 years.
