Bringing Books to The Boys
The Mission of Black Boys Read Too is to break the cycle of illiteracy and encourage African American boys to foster a love for reading. We seek to address the large disparities in literacy achievement by getting books in children’s hands by any means necessary.
Black Boys Read Too was founded because we believe African American boys should be given every opportunity possible to develop literacy based skills, and immerse themselves in the joys of reading. Through our Barbershop Bookshelf Program, Barbershop Book Clubs and other Literacy Pop-up Events, we hope to make books more accessible to our community and inspire a new generation of lifelong readers
