Chapters
Each chapter plans and directs a program of activities in order to develop the community of people who are interested in English. Participation in chapter activities is one of the most valuable benefits of NEHS membership; the kinds of appropriate activities are limited only by the members' imaginations.
The Common Reader
Depicting the factual history of the Florida Dozier School for Boys, Whitehead carefully and quietly pays homage to the boys incarcerated at Dozier while searing the minds of his readers, forcing a confrontation with the concepts of slavery, race, and abuse, but also with the uplifting ideas of courage, dignity, and perseverance. With this text, Whitehead solidifies his place as one of the most significant writers of the 21st Century. As The Underground Railroad gave readers a visceral journey through the slave years of the 1800s and beyond, this text will challenge, trouble, and enlighten NEHS readers.
Applicants for the Merit Scholarships are to select this text as the basis of their application submissions, which will be due January 11, 2021.
