LETTER WRITING AND BOOK DRIVE

During the 70th Regional Conference, sorors participated in the "Black Book Brigade" service project by donating books by black authors to be shared with Florida children through churches and other private organizations –a response to efforts in Florida to remove books about the African American experience from school classrooms and libraries. The value of the books donated is estimated at $8,000.

Additionally, sorors wrote letters to Florida legislators regarding proposed legislation that threatened to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at post-secondary institutions. Thank you to the Region Program Committee, led by Soror Sherell Crawford, for leading this effort.
