Film Screening: The Right to Read

When a child can’t read, their risk of incarceration, homelessness, and unemployment increases. Oakland-based NAACP activist Kareem Weaver believes literacy is one of the greatest civil rights issues of our time. Join us for a screening of The Right to Read, a documentary from executive producer Levar Burton. The film follows Weaver, two American families, and a teacher fighting to provide children with the most foundational indicator of life-long success: the ability to read.
