African American Read In
Thursday, February 23, 5:30-7:30P
Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA)

Literature and fine art come together in the African American Read-In (AARI) at VMFA. Travel through the galleries to experience live prose and poetry read aloud by community leaders in these evocative and poignant pairings of African American literature and art.

VMFA's AARI is part of the national event, which 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.
