rEADERS ARE LEADERS CHALLENGE

Picture
The NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, and American Urban Radio Networks, the nation’s largest African American owned radio network company, have joined forces in a reading literacy campaign.  AURN and the NAACP in partnership with Tanya Hart Communications, Inc., have produced and distributed radio public service announcements (PSAs) voiced by Tatyana Ali, Bobby Jones, Jermaine Dupri and other notable individuals from various aspects of the entertainment industry.  The goal is to cultivate a generation of young people committed to reading.

The NAACP recently launched “NAACP Reads,” a public awareness campaign with the support of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading and the Annie E. Casey Foundation to reinforce the importance of early literacy development in the effort to increase third grade-level reading proficiency for African American and low-income students. NAACP Reads will help to leverage the visibility and impact of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading, a collaborative effort launched by Casey in 2010 which now includes dozens of foundations, nonprofit partners, government agencies, business leaders, states and communities.
