African-American Children's Book Drive
(Diversity)
The National Council on Educating Black Children has labeled the current state of education for African American children a crisis. One of the primary problems identified by this association of educators is the lack of positive imagery and relational materials presented for African American children at home and in school classrooms. The Corporation for National and Community Service estimates that "Eighty percent of preschool and after-school programs serving low-income populations have no age-appropriate books for their children." Please help us provide books to African American children" Our goal is to collect as many children's books as possible that feature African American characters and/or authors. Bring new or used books to Major Williams Hall (Room 537) anytime during February, or we can come pick them up! Let us know if you need book recommendations. Participation from all VT faculty, staff, and students is encouraged.
