JOIN our next public event; the African American Read-in will be held Sunday February 2, 2025 from 1-3pm at 401 N. West St.
STELLAR's annual celebration of literacy through the African American Read-In is a vibrant and inspiring event that highlights the rich literary contributions of African American authors and storytellers.
The African American Read-In, part of a national initiative by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English, is an opportunity for communities to come together and experience the joy of shared stories. STELLAR takes pride in organizing this event, inviting readers of all ages to explore works that amplify cultural heritage, resilience, and creativity. From timeless classics to contemporary bestsellers, the Read-In showcases literature that resonates with readers from all walks of life.
This year’s annual celebration will be held on Sunday afternoon, February 2, from 1 to 3 PM, at the Religious Society of Friends Meeting House, 401 N. West St., Wilmington, DE 19801.
In addition to honoring established authors, STELLAR encourages young children to explore their creativity by writing their own stories and poems. This initiative empowers them to see themselves as storytellers, capable of sharing their unique voices and experiences. By contributing their work to the Read-In, children become active participants in the celebration, finding joy in self-expression and pride in their heritage. These contributions also inspire others in the community to appreciate the value of youth perspectives and creativity.
Through the African American Read-In, STELLAR not only promotes literacy but also underscores the importance of representation in literature. It is a space where everyone, including the youngest members of our community, can see themselves reflected and valued. This event is a reminder of the profound impact stories have in connecting us, fostering empathy, and inspiring growth. Mark your calendars for February 2—it promises to be another unforgettable gathering filled with words, wisdom, and wonder!
