National Black Literacy Day 2024: Every year on February 14, we commemorate National Black Literacy Day. You can support literacy initiatives in your community if you would like to take part in the event on February 14. Donate money to an organization that is a member of the Chicago Literacy Alliance, provide your time to a literacy or mentorship program at your neighborhood YMCA, or contribute to Semicolon’s #ClearTheShelves initiative. Additionally, remember to read aloud to a child in your life for a considerable amount of time to assist them in discovering the joys of reading.

National Black Literacy Day History

The first black woman-owned bookshop in Chicago opened its doors in the summer of 2019. Over the years, Semicolon has served as both a gallery and a vibrant, dynamic center of the arts. The Semicolon’s owner, D.L. Mullen, has been searching for fresh and creative methods to give back to her neighborhood. Through the distribution of free books at an event in May, she established a campaign called #ClearTheShelves, which aims to encourage a lifelong love of reading among Chicago youngsters.

Mullen has pushed for a national holiday to honor these initiatives and support readers in low-literacy regions. She carefully considered her options for Valentine’s Day, hoping that others would feel the same way. It is also, in many respects, the centerpiece of Black History Month, occurring on the day of American abolitionist Frederick Douglass’ birthday. Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago has endorsed her, issuing an official proclamation in her favor.

Before Mullen could request the mayor’s office, she needed permission for the holiday to be mentioned. Mullen might file a request with the mayor’s office once the holiday is announced. Although the governor and the mayor can both proclaim a holiday, Illinois would need to take legislative action to formally recognize it as such.
