What is the Read-In?
The African-American Read-In began in 1990 as a formal part of the nationwide Black History Month activities. Each year this event brings people of all ethnicities together in communities across the nation to read and celebrate the works of African-American writers.
How do you participate?
Faculty, staff, students and community members are invited to read 3-5 minute excerpts from their favorite work by an African-American writer. Works can include poetry, adult literature or children's books. Don't have a favorite work? We'll provide an excerpt for you at the check-in desk.
How do you register?
To have your name listed in the program, please register online or call Leah Banks at 622-1797 by Monday, January 29. Walk-in readers are welcome the day of the event!
Come and go as your schedule permits!
