CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Pride Month is wrapping up, and what better way to celebrate than picking up a book to learn more about diversity and inclusivity.
The Corpus Christi American Federation of Teachers did just that by holding a book a pride patrol book giveaway at the Unitarian Universalist Church.
Events like this help educate the youth on LGBTQ rights and spreading acceptance and knowledge throughout our community.
Dr. Nancy Vera, President of the Corpus Christi American Federation of Teachers shared a few words about the fun filled book distribution.
"We accept our children for who they are and how they come in and collaborate with the LGBTQIA+ community. We show the community, we show the children that if they are different, they are welcome in the classroom and that's why it is so important... to promote literacy, to promote who we are as a community."
