One for the Books: Reading Partners Can Make Dreams Come True

Among my foundation's largest grants was to Reading Partners. When 9 million elementary school children do not read at grade level today, CEO Adeola Whitney urged us to support their incredible work, "[we can] right now...invest in the future America they want to live in" and quoted Langston Hughes:

Hold fast to dreams 

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

 

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow
