St. Clair County Community College (SC4) is set to host an enriching African American Literature Read-In event as part of the nationwide celebration of the National African American Read-In.
Established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English, the event at SC4 will take place on February 24th, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the SC4 Fine Arts Theatre. This event is free for all attendees.
Local K-12 students will share excerpts from children’s literature by African American authors, aiming to intertwine literacy with the essence of Black History Month. Notable features include a compelling conversation between SC4’s English professor, Chris Hilton, and Chief Diversity Officer Jessica Brown, exploring the event’s significance in promoting literacy and cultural understanding.
