NXT Superstars Montez Ford and Bianca Blair joined the Orlando Public Library's second African-American Read-In event where they celebrated African-American literature in poetry, story and song, performed by local luminaries. The NXT Superstars read passages from "The Crossover" by Kwame Alexander. 

2017 marks the 27th Annual National African-American Read-In initiative. During the month of February, schools, libraries and community professionals are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting an African American Read-In event.
