Events › Big Read Kick-off Celebration

The Fitz Center for Leadership in Community at the University of Dayton, in collaboration with Dayton Metro Library, Daybreak Dayton, and several community partners, will offer diverse public programming in conjunction with a community-wide reading of Yaa Gyasi’s book, “Homegoing".  Meet us in the Eichelberger Forum for an engaging dialogue about “Homegoing” with Dr. ShaDawn Battle and Dr. Nancy McHugh and a cultural food experience presented by London Coe of Peace on Fifth. Don’t miss this opportunity to grab your complimentary copy of the book, mingle with our community members and partners, and be a part of an evening of community, literature, and fellowship. The event is open to the public.
