DESCRIPTION:Over the past two years\, the Center for Studies on Africa and 
 Its Diaspora (CSAD) has established a tradition of hosting an annual\, virt
 ual Black History Month Read-a-Thon\, celebrating literature from Africa an
 d the African diaspora.\nThis virtual event has gained international partne
 rships\, including with the U.S. Embassy in Banjul\, The Gambia\; the Johan
 nes Gutenberg University Obama Institute in Mainz\, Germany\; Centro de Est
 udios Afrodiaspóricos (CEAF) at Universidad Icesi in Cali\, Colombia\; and 
 the University of the West Indies in Mona\, Jamaica. CSAD continues to expa
 nd our global partnerships. This year\, Ghana\, Ethiopia\, Canada\, and Bra
 zil will be among our international partners.\nMost 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 studios 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 Journey of Us.” This theme align
 s with GPB’s own theme focused on “The Great Migration.”\nThe CSAD REad-a-T
 hon will highlight narratives about the journeys across Africa and the Afri
 can diaspora. This includes journeys such as the transatlantic passage from
  West Africa to the Americas\, the Great Migration from the American South 
 to the North\, and diverse migrant experiences spanning Africa\, Europe\, A
 sia\, and beyond.\nAs the Read-a-Thon streams live GPB will engage in numer
 ous community events that reflect the migration of people and cultures acro
 ss the Black diaspora\n\nHosted by: Office of International Initiatives\, P
