Read Woke
“Read Woke is a movement. It is a feeling. It is a style. It is a form of education. It is a call to action; it is our right as lifelong learners. It means arming yourself with knowledge in order to better protect your rights. Knowledge is power and no one can take it away. It means learning about others so that you can treat people with the respect and dignity that they deserve no matter their religion, race, creed, or color.” The Read Woke Movement was started by Cicely Lewis, a high school librarian. Do you want to be woke? Join us for riveting conversations about Woke Books.
