Reading IS Fundamental.Â
That was the message of I See Me Inc.âs, 11th annual âReal Men Read: You Can Be Virtually Anything if You Can Readâ held via YouTube Livestream on Friday.Â
Organizers noted the event was different than past readings.
âNormally when we host this event, it is held in an auditorium, filled with boys and men using literature as a means to evoke conversation,â said Devon Frazier, founder and executive director of I See Me. âAt I See Me, we feel that it is very important that our boys see books in the hands of a man. We want our boys to equate literacy with success . . . Our boys canât be what they canât see.â
