M-DCPS PARTICIPATES IN NATIONAL AFRICAN-AMERICAN READ-IN
CHAIN
February 4, 2002
Today, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Miami-Dade County Public
Schools students and employees throughout the district are
joining over a million readers nationwide in the 13th Annual
African American Read-In Chain by reading select books
written by African Americans.
The goal of the Read-In is to make the celebration of
African-American literacy a traditional part of Black
History Month. The first African-American Read-In was
sponsored by the Black Caucus of the National Council of
Teachers of English in 1990.
For further information, contact Mr. Thirlee Smith, Division
of Social Sciences at 305-995-1971.
