In celebration of Black History Month, the Carnegie Center for Art and History is participating in the national African American Read-In on Saturday, February 1 from 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM.

The public is encouraged to both listen and to participate in this free program by bringing and reading short excerpts by African American authors in an open mic format. Selections should be 2-3 minutes long and can be by living or deceased authors. Works of fiction and nonfiction are encouraged for this all-ages audience.

Featured readers include Idris Goodwin, Deedee Cummings, and The Black Student Union of Jeffersonville High School.
