DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, CSAD has established a tradition of h
 osting an annual\, virtual Black History Month Read-a-Thon\, celebrating li
 terature from Africa and the African diaspora.\n\nThis virtual event has ga
 ined international partnerships\, including with the U.S. Embassy in Banjul
 \, The Gambia\; the Johannes Gutenberg University Obama Institute in Mainz\
 , Germany\; Centro de Estudios Afrodiaspóricos (CEAF) at Universidad Icesi 
 in Cali\, Colombia\; and the University of the West Indies in Mona\, Jamaic
 a. CSAD continues to expand our global partnerships. This year\, Ghana\, Et
 hiopia\, Canada\, and Brazil will be among our international partners.\n\nM
 ost notably\, CSAD is also partnering with Georgia Public Television (GPB).
  The first two hours of the Read-a-Thon will stream live from the GPB studi
 os in Atlanta\, with plans for parts of the Read-a-Thon to air on GPB at a 
 later date. The CSAD Global Read-a-Thon theme for 2025 is “Roots: The Journ
 ey of Us.” This theme aligns with GPB’s own theme focused on “The Great Mig
 ration.”\nThe CSAD REad-a-Thon will highlight narratives about the journeys
  across Africa and the African diaspora. This includes journeys such as the
  transatlantic passage from West Africa to the Americas\, the Great Migrati
 on from the American South to the North\, and diverse migrant experiences s
 panning Africa\, Europe\, Asia\, and beyond.\n\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/
