In honor of Black History Month, we invite you to be part of a powerful community movement—the African American Read-In. Established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), this initiative celebrates African American authors, their stories, and their cultural impact. Over the years, this event has reached more than 6 million participants worldwide, and now it's your turn to be a part of this literary tradition. Whether you're reading aloud your favorite work by a Black author, sharing a passage from a beloved book, or simply listening to others, the African American Read-In is a fantastic way to engage with literature that reflects the richness of the Black experience.

Why You Should Join:

• Celebrate Black Excellence: Dive into the stories and voices that have shaped African American culture and history.
• Connect with Your Community: Share the joy of reading with others and build a stronger, more connected community.
• Support Literacy: This event underscores the importance of literacy and encourages reading as a lifelong practice.

Come together with us and other participants to honor the legacy of African American writers and their contributions to literature. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something meaningful—mark your calendar, bring your favorite book, and join us in this celebration of culture, literacy, and community!
