Sponsored by the Athens-Clarke County Public Library and the English departments of the University of Georgia and Texas Christian University, this free webinar features distinguished teachers and scholars examining representations of Phillis Wheatley Peters in children’s literature and how educators use books about Wheatley Peters and other African American historical figures to encourage literacy in young readers. Participants will have the opportunity to receive free copies of books discussed during the event. 

This program is supported by a grant from Georgia Humanities.
