Celebrating Freedom: Cultural Conversations at the Center

Haitian Youth Experiences in a Diasporic Literacy Program

This is the second part of a program which served as the basis for Drs. Desir and Hall's book on education and the restoration of pan African Haitian youth. The participants will share their success!

Join us for a compelling follow-up panel featuring Haitian descended youth who participated in the transformative diasporic literacy programs led by Drs. Charlene Desir and Pamela Hall. This event will highlight the success stories of those who completed the program, exploring their journeys and achievements years later in the workforce. Learn how the culturally rich education and the restoration of Pan African Haitian youth shaped their personal and professional lives.

About the African American Research Library and Cultural Center 

The Broward County African American Research Library and Cultural Center (AARLCC) is located in the Sistrunk community, one of the oldest historically Black communities named for one of Fort Lauderdale’s first Black physicians. Opening to the public on October 26, 2002, AARLCC became the third public library of its kind in the United States dedicated to the study of Black history and culture. The 60,000 square-foot Center serves as a repository of materials related to the local, national, and international voices of the African diaspora with more than 85,000 books, manuscripts, artifacts, framed art, print, photography, audiovisual, and documents held in our Adult Services Section and Special Collections. The Youth Services Section features a special collection of Coretta Scott King Award books and the Ashley Bryan Art Collection from illustrators of African Descent. AARLCC also features a 5,000 sq. ft. museum, a 300-seat state-of-the-art theatre, and a Computer Training Center.
