California Writers Club to Celebrate Black History Month

The High Desert Branch of the California Writers Club will honor African-American literary contributions as they celebrate Black History Month on Thursday, February 6, 2020 at the Hesperia Library, 9650 Seventh Avenue, from 5:00 to 7:00 pm.

The National African-American Read-In is the nation’s first and oldest event dedicated to diversity in literature. It was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month. This initiative has reached more than six million participants around the world.

The HDCWC plans to have an “open mic” version of an African-American Read-In. People may sign up at the beginning of the event to present a poem or excerpt or short skit written or inspired by a black writer.

Readers of any ethnicity are invited to participate in the presentations provided it is in keeping with the Black History Month theme.
​

There is no admission charge, and the public is welcome to attend.
