Evanston Township High School will host its second annual E-Town Community Literacy Fest this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will feature local restaurants, raffles and book giveaways. Beyond the event’s literary-themed activities, organizers from the ETHS literacy team — a group of school officials that work on literacy initiatives — said.
What if you went to the bookstore and saw no one on the shelves who looked like you? One couple is addressing that deficit for young Black children, supporting literacy and identity.
2023 marks five years since the start of Young, Black & Lit, a nonprofit organization committed to increasing access to children s books that center Black children and experiences.
For young Black book lovers, it can be tough to find books that reflect the readers and their worlds. In 2018, the local nonprofit Young, Black & Lit took it upon itself to make sure that Black children have plenty of options for their bookshelves.
/PRNewswire/ Young, Black & Lit is excited to announce their five-year anniversary with the launch of Give Big, Get LIT: Bridging the Gap Through Literacy.
