Reading is fundamentally tied to success in American society. But why are rates of illiteracy so high in our country today, with estimates showing that up to 54% of adults today read at or below a sixth-grade level? How do poverty and race impact illiteracy, and what can be done to address these issues?
The film The Right to Read addresses and attempts to answer these questions. Following Kareem Weaver, an NAACP activist, Sabrina Causey, a first-grade teacher, and two families in Oakland, MD, this documentary explores the root causes of illiteracy and highlights the long-lasting, even generational, impact that it has.
Join us for a screening of the film, followed by a discussion amongst attendees. Light refreshments will be served.
