Join us this Black History Month for the FREE documentary screening of The Right to Read on Tues., Feb. 20th, from 6:30pm-8:45pm at Alamo Drafthouse (DC Bryant St) to learn about the nation’s reading crisis and how to solve it in the District. The film shares the stories of an NAACP activist, a teacher, and two American families who fight to provide our youngest generation with the most foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read. When a child doesn’t learn to read, their chances of incarceration, homelessness, and high school dropout increase. That’s why Oakland-based NAACP activist Kareem Weaver’s message is clear: literacy is the greatest civil right of our time.
