The Mount Airy Museum of Regional History is sponsoring its 16th annual African American Read-In. Hosted by members of The Plaid Cloth Literary Society, this FREE event is open to the public and will be held in the 2nd floor Conference Room.

To participate, one needs only to select works written by an African American author and be prepared to read a poem or an excerpt from from a book. Listeners are also welcome!
Since 1990, more than a million readers, nationally and internationally, have gathered annually to participate in the Read-In. It is endorsed by the International Reading Association and the National Council of Teachers of English. The goal is to make the celebration of African American literacy a traditional part of Black History Month activities.
