The African American Read-In continues Feb. 19 with “Monday Marathon,” an open mic event held in the Titelman Study of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., various readings, presentations, and games will take place celebrating African American writers. There will also be prizes and refreshments. Community members are invited to drop in throughout the day to participate and/or listen. Readers may sign up in advance on the African American Read-in website to participate. All readers will receive a commemorative T-shirt.
All events are free and open to the public and are sponsored by the African American Read-In at Penn State Altoona with additional support from the Penn State Altoona Honors, Multidisciplinary Studies, and Environmental Studies programs, Penn State's Office of General Education, and the Blair County NAACP.
