In Port Huron, about 60 students from schools across the district came together Saturday at Cleveland Elementary for the annual African American Read-In. The event, part of Black History Month, featured students from kindergarten through high school reading works by Black authors. Families, teachers, and city leaders packed the room to cheer them on. The Superintendent and Mayor Anita Ashford joined in celebrating literacy, culture, and inclusion — a unifying tradition that continues to inspire young voices across Port Huron.
