VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB
DESIGNED TO OFFER STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GATHER AND ENGAGE LITERATURE FEATURING BLACK AUTHORS AND CHARACTERS IN THE SAME WAY THAT OUR SUMMER INSTITUTE HAS FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. WE HAVE ADJUSTED TO REMOTE LEARNING BY UTILIZING VIRTUAL PLATFORMS, ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE PROVIDING THIS NEEDED PROGRAMMING.
WORKSHOPS
WE EXPLORE NOTABLE FIGURES AND MOVEMENTS THROUGH WORKSHOPS LIKE, THEY WALKED WITH KING AND SHOWING UP AND SHOWING OUT: FROM LITTLE ROCK TO BERKELEY. STUDENTS EXPLORE SOCIAL AND HISTORICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, PRACTICING THEIR ANALYTICAL WRITING AND PRESENTATION SKILLS, AND OFTEN BRING THIS EXPERIENCE BACK TO THEIR SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. STUDENTS MEET FOR 1 HOUR PER WEEK FOR SIX WEEKS.
