Thursday afternoon, Condra Ridley portrayed champion of human rights, Coretta Scott King, the wife of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. With stories of her childhood, education, marriage, work in the Civil Rights Movement and lifelong nonviolent activism after Dr. King’s death, Ms. Ridley’s portrayal revealed a woman of strength and grace who kept “the Dream” alive.

Visit our Flickr page to see all of our photos from last night’s African American Read-in. We had a fantastic turnout for the 4th Annual African American Read-in, and we would like to thank everyone for their support. We estimate that we had just over 90 people participate, with readers including authors Charles Cush and Deborah Godwin-Starks as well as Wayne Township Trustee Richard Stevenson. We would especially like to thank Condra Ridley for her outstanding promotion of this event and her invaluable help last night. We are truly in her debt for making this a very special event!
