Tusculum University hosts the annual African American Read-In on Tuesday to celebrate the creativity, messages and talent of African American artists.
The event is sponsored by the English and Languages Department and by the Center for Civic Advancement, and will take place from noon until 1:30 p.m. Tuesday in the living room of the Scott M. Niswonger Commons.
The public is invited to read or listen to poetry, plays, novels or essays from African American authors. Participants are able to bring a work of their choosing, but organizers will also have selections available for reading.
The African American Read-In is a national event founded by the National Council for Teachers of English. The Tusculum event is free, and there will be light refreshments and giveaways.
