In an effort to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month, Barnes and Noble and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) invites you to participate in the 24th Annual African American Read-in!
The African American Read-In and Poetry Slam will feature a book written by a prominent African-American author followed by recitations of selected pieces composed by African-American poets. Featured speakers and poets include community members, authors, students representing the Champaign Unit 4 and Urbana School District 116, members representing Black Greek Organizations, and the National Council of Teachers of English.
