AFRICAN AMERICAN READ-IN

It is with much regret that I have been unable to arrange our February 2026 observance and celebration of Black History Month.  Health is the unfortunate issue.  I thank each of you who participated in our twenty-two years of observances.  I hope you have found joy meanwhile in your independent reading of poems, short stories, novels, plays, non-fictional narratives, speeches, and historical and cultural texts written by African Americans--as well as having enjoyed the various musical forms and attended dramatic presentations during the month.

I give thanks to the choir director for continuing Trinity's first Sunday in February's tradition of singing the Negro National Anthem--"Lift Every Voice and Sing"--and for following up on the second Sunday in the month with the spiritual "This Little Light of Mine."  

Blessings & Gratitude,
Eleanor Q. Tignor,
Director, African American Read-In
