Good day, readers. I hope if you haven't done so already, that you have a book in your hands by the end of the day.
On Friday, September 18, 2009, at 7pm, a book signing and reception will be held celebrating the publication of "Bishop Daniel A. Payne: Great Black Leader". The author is Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, professor Emerita of Education at The Ohio State University. The place to be is the Gateway Health and Wellness Center Grand Ballroom, 112 North Jefferson Ave. in Columbus.
Bishop Payne was not only a clergyman, but also the first black president of Wilberforce University. He was an activist and a leader of the AME church.
Dr. Bishop has received numerous awards for her work in the field of African-American children's literature. Columbus is lucky to have her among us.
She will also be the speaker at The Aldus Society's February program, celebrating Black History Month, and talking about African-American children's literature, and I'm really looking forward to that. The Aldus Society's program's are open to the public and free. More about Aldus and its programs later.
RSVP to 614-252-2377 if you are planning to attend Dr. Bishop's reading and signing.
Celebrate this new book; celebrate reading every day.
