Bridging The Literacy Divide Once you learn to read you will be forever free. Frederick Douglass Cultivating the Joy of Reading Children and youth from underserved communities need to see themselves authentically reflected in the stories they read. In our sixweek summer program our young scholars read books that have people who look like them and who came from circumstances like their own. These stories honor the struggles sacrifices and triumphs of their ancestors and empower our scholars to know they can make a difference for themselves their family their community and the world.
