As Black History Month winds down, we share the college’s second African-American Read-In. This effort, spearheaded by Stephanie Mireku from the Office of Alumni Relations, is modeled on the National African American Read-in created in 1990 by the National Council of Teachers of English. Members of the Friar community were invited to read excerpts from African American literature, poetry, and songs. Due to the audio nature of a podcast, we removed a dance performance by Sokeo Ross ’20G, which can be viewed on Facebook and YouTube. Read-in participants include: ᐧ Dr. Wanda Ingram '75 ᐧ Nedzer Erilus '03 ᐧ Rev. Augustine Reisenauer, O.P. ᐧ Amie Mbye '18 ᐧ The Honorable Melissa DuBose, Esq. '90 ᐧ Michelle Trieu '14 ᐧ Sokeo Ros '20G ᐧ Pamela Tremblay ᐧ Elysia "Missy" Cunnigan '23 ᐧ Adebimpe Dare ᐧ Footprints Gospel Choir ᐧ Brianna Harper '22 ᐧ Adetola Abiade '95 ᐧ Ann Manchester-Molak '75 African American Read-In on Facebook African American Read-In on YouTube
