In honor of Black History Month, Duquesne University’s Michael P. Weber Learning Skills Center is hosting the 3rd, annual NCTE’s African American Read-In event to showcase and celebrate the literary works of African American authors, composers, poets, and other artists. The National African American Read-In was established in 1990, by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month.

The virtual event takes place on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, via Zoom, and the program runs from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All are welcome to attend. For more information: RSVP via ticket link rizzoj@duq.edu wade@duq.edu
