| The Harry Potter Alliance (HPA), an international association of activists, recently sent thousands of books to the Delta State University Delta Center for Culture and Learning to be distributed across the Delta to promote literacy.
HPA is the creation of Andrew Slack, who serves as its executive director and who approached the Delta Center with this project. He credits the 40 Alliance volunteer staff members and the 60 local chapters with making the book drive possible. The free books sorted by reader age are now being distributed across the Delta to entities already engaged in literacy which includes the Saint Gabriel Mercy Center and the Mound Bayou Public Schools Alumni Association in Mound Bayou, the Greenville Renaissance Scholars in Greenville, the Family Reading Program of the Mississippi Humanities Council, the Sunflower Freedom Project in Sunflower, and other organizations. |
