The directors of English language arts and reading, invite you, your students, and staffs to join us for CFB’s third annual African American Read-In, which will be held at Barbara Bush Middle School on Tuesday, February 6, at 6:00 p.m. Please bring one of your favorite selections written by an African American author to read or perform at this event.
We are joining the National Council of Teachers of English, its Black Caucus, and others by hosting this literary event during Black History Month. It will be our pleasure to add your name to this list of readers for the National African American Read-In, the nation’s first and oldest event dedicated to diversity in literature.
