The goal of the club is to improve literacy skills through the teaching of periods in African-American History, coupled with fun literary assignments and projects. The program will be led by a certified educator from the local community, supported by a literary coach and reading tutors with experience working with students in grades 5-8.
 

The program objectives will be accomplished through the following activities:

• Book clubs based on specifically curated books to combat the national strategic ban on books

• Special projects related to the books and lessons

• Working with experienced diverse literacy coaches and reading tutors to enhance the program, while also providing opportunities for parents to gain literacy coaching experience to help their children at home throughout the school year, and empower parents with the ability to make informed decisions about their child(ren)'s education.
