This event has been postponed and rescheduled for Feb. 25, 2026. See below for details.

Davu Seru, Curator of the Givens Collection, extends a special invitation to share your perspectives and insights as we develop a NEW African American Literature Curriculum Guide.

Teachers will receive two clock hours toward MN relicensure (meets cultural competence requirement). Spots are limited to the first 50 registrants.

Your perspective matters. Your insight strengthens the fabric of our shared story. Let’s thread-together something lasting, meaningful, and transformative—together.
