Read-In Celebrates African American Artists’ Literary Works

The Michael P. Weber Learning Skills Center is marking Black History Month by hosting the third annual African American Read-In, during which attendees can listen or participate as faculty, staff, students and fellow guests read, sing, perform or dance to lyrics, speeches, reenactments or plays authored by African Americans.

The event, held in conjunction with the National African American Read-In hosted yearly by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), will be hosted today, Wednesday, Feb. 24 from 6 to 8 p.m., via Zoom. Registration is required.

The National African American Read-In event was established by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English in 1990 to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month.

The Michael P. Weber Learning Skills Center offers trained tutors and a comprehensive study skills program to help Duquesne students develop and enhance their skills, both academically and personally, on their journey to realize their future goals.
