Sankofa Charity Gala & Motorcycle Ride (March 12th-14th)

In the recent 2023-2024 school year, public schools in the U.S witnessed A SURGE in BOOK BANS, with PEN AMERICA reporting over 10,000 instances. This marks a significant increase compared to previous years, indicating a growing concern and pressure to restrict access to certain books within school libraries and curricula.

The goal of our “Boots & Books” themed Gala is not only to have fun, but also to raise awareness about the importance of cultural diversity in literature and the dangers of censorship.

Keynote Speaker Topic:

“IMPORTANCE OF FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION”

GUESTS CAN BRING THEIR FAVORITE BANNED BOOKS TO DONATE TO THE SAC SCHOOL LIBRARY
