The Right to Read Movie Screening

American reading levels have been far below grade level for decades. When a child doesn't learn to read, their chances of incarceration, homelessness, and high school dropout increase. That's why Oakland-based NAACP activist Kareem Weaver's message is clear: literacy is the greatest civil right of our time. Directed by Jenny Mackenzie with LeVar Burton as an Executive Producer, this documentary reinforces the importance of literacy as a civil right and spotlights the national movement for the science of reading.
