Attending a Reading by Leon Dash :: Rosa Lee Leon Dash

Rosa Lee and Leon Dash The Reading Brown Series facilitated a perusing by Leon Dash at the YMCA. Teacher Dash was conceived in 1944 in Massachusetts, yet he experienced childhood in the Bronx of New York. He functioned as an author from 1966-1968 for the Washington Post. He was likewise in the Peace Corp soon after going all through Africa. He later returned to the Washington Post and has since done examinations on different things. I made some diligently memories attempting to discover precisely where the perusing was going to occur as I strolled around the YMCA. I at long last got the guts to approach somebody and request help, the male marvel. The occasion occurred in a back room behind the kitchen. The room had four tables set up as to look like two. There were numerous seats and scarcely any individuals to fill them as I strolled in. There were a bunch of individuals in the room and generally situated around the tables set up in a V-shape from the platform. The room gradually began to fill as it came more like twelve o’clock. As I checked out the room, I saw the â€Å"bleacher section†, a lot of 12 seats to the side of the room away from the speaker almost filled. A large portion of those seats appeared to be involved by understudies who had all the earmarks of being taking notes. The remainder of the room had an odd collection of individuals. For a perusing based around the remembrance of the Brown versus Leading body of Education case, there was just a single African American in the room other than the speaker. There were numerous more established white individuals who gave the feeling that they were personnel. A couple of them and others got lunch on a plate or in a sack, apparently on their mid-day break. The room looked as though it was divided down the middle among understudies and personnel. I would figure that there were around 20 to 25 individuals in the room. The room was huge enough and had enough seating to cause it to appear as though the individuals were extremely spread out. There was next to no communication between the individuals previously and during the occasion. It appeared as if everybody was only anxious for the perusing to begin and finish.
