The UH African American Read-In will take place on Tuesday, February 9, 2016 between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. UH faculty, staff and students are invited to read their favorite poems, passages of fiction or nonfiction, lyrics, plays, or speeches written by African Americans to an audience in the Elizabeth D. Rockwell Pavilion at the MD Anderson Library. Guests, classes, and organizations are encouraged to attend. Sign up to be a reader.

The UH Libraries joins schools, churches, bookstores, libraries and professional organizations across the country in participating in the National African American Read-In, now in its 26th year.

Through the support of the Libraries, the University, and the Houston community, the event is destined to become a campus tradition.

The African American Read-In is made possible through campus partnership with the UH Libraries, the UH Center for Diversity and Inclusion, the UH African American Studies program, and the UH Department of English.
