African American Read-in Monday Marathon

Penn State Altoona's African American Read-in continues Monday, Feb. 14, with “Monday Marathon,” an open mic read-in held in the Titelman Study of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., various readings will take place celebrating African American writers. Community members are invited to drop in any time throughout the day to participate and/or listen and enjoy. Sign up to read on the Read-in site.

The theme for this year's Read-in is "The Other African Americans: African Immigrants Writing America," celebrating works by writers who are Black, African, and American. Their stories highlight the connections we share in this multiethnic country despite the differences in how and when our ancestors first arrived.

All Read-in events are free and open to the public and sponsored by the African American Read-in at Penn State Altoona with additional support from the Blair County NAACP.
