The Read In has been endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association. Over a million readers of all ethnic groups, from 50 states, the District of Columbia, the West Indies, and African Countries have participated. The goal is to make the celebration of African American literacy a traditional part of black history month actitivities.”
The theme:
