Caroline County Public Library African American Read-In: Hope, Courage, and the Struggle

February 22, 2025 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Free

Please join us at the Caroline County Public Library in Denton to celebrate African American authors and literature.

The National African American Read-In was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English to promote literacy in Black communities during Black History Month. African American Read-Ins are held all over the country during the month of February every year.

During the read-in, you are welcome to participate by listening to readers share their favorite writings or you can join in by reading a piece of work that inspires you. Readings should be 2-4 minutes to allow for as many people to participate as possible and for brief discussions of the readings. Selections such as poems, short essays, or an excerpts from books or other sources can be read.

Light refreshments will be provided.

This event is co-sponsored by local chapters of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta sororities.
