DESCRIPTION: The San Francisco Unified School District [SFUSD] has the largest 
 achievement gap, by race, when compared to the seven largest school 
 districts in California.  SFUSD has had a racial achievement gap for over 
 30 years and it continues to widen. Public Allies is joining Marcus 
 Bookstore on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to launch a city wide education 
 initiative embracing the literary heritage of San Francisco’s Latino, 
 Asian Pacific Islander, and African American communities. This is an 
 opportunity to promote understanding of grade level skills and begin 
 closing San Francisco’s academic achievement gaps.\nSince 1992, Public 
 Allies has been developing a new generation of diverse leaders and 
 promoting innovative leadership practices that meet the demands of changing 
 times. Forty Public Allies members will join Marcus Bookstore on January 
 18, 2010 to host various activities from 1:00pm – 4:00pm for the general 
 public. These activities will be age-specific discussions of social justice 
 and will engage youth in literary explorations. The event will formally 
 begin at 11:30am at Marcus Bookstore on 1712 Fillmore Street with an 
 Opening Reflection. San Francisco community members of all ages are 
 encouraged to attend these events as participants or volunteers.  \n
