Children’s Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools® Program has launched a 60 for 60 Read Aloud Campaign to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Freedom Summer 1964. We are working with The Brown Bookshelf to recruit 60 authors, illustrators, and photographers to serve as Harambee read aloud guests at program sites across the country on Wednesday, July 17, for National Day of Social Action (NDSA). We cordially invite you to join us as a read aloud guest at your local CDF Freedom Schools site as we engage in read-ins featuring banned books, marches, and other types of protests, to demand that communities and elected officials protect the freedom to read.
Once you sign up, you will receive a follow-up email with an introduction to local site staff.
