In observance of Black History Month, CAH, the Congressional Black Associates (CBA) & National Action Network (NAN) are partnering with Horton’s Kids to read books on African American history, specifically books that have been included in the National Banned Books list.
Mahogany Book Store will be a supporter of this event as we’d like to do a book drive at the end, along with food or snacks for the children and volunteers.

DC Council Budget Hearing on Friday, April 26 at 9 am
