It is time.
The **4th Annual Black Literacy Matters® Conference** is coming HOME to Omaha, Nebraska—and this will be our **largest and most significant conference to date.**
📚 **THE BLUEPRINT: THIS IS THE WAY**
**Reclaiming the Methods That Built Black Literacy—And Rebuilding Them Again**
📅 **March 17–20, 2027**
📍 **University of Nebraska at Omaha**
Milo Bail Student Center
6203 S. University Drive
Omaha, Nebraska
Four years ago, we stepped out believing that there needed to be a national space where Black literacy was not a side conversation, an afterthought, or simply another statistic—but the CENTER of the conversation.
And look at what God has done.
In 2027, we are coming together again—educators, researchers, parents, advocates, literacy leaders, policymakers, clinicians, faith leaders, community leaders, and people from across the country and beyond—to ask a different question:
**What worked before, and what will it take to build it again?**
This is **THE BLUEPRINT.**
We are bringing history, research, evidence, instruction, language, community, faith, advocacy, policy, dyslexia, structured literacy, and the lived experiences of Black children and families into the same building.
And the people coming to Omaha?! Whew. 🔥
🎤 **Dr. Louisa Moats**
🎤 **Dr. Steve Perry**
🎤 **Dr. David Hurford**
🎤 Nationally recognized researchers, educators, advocates, practitioners, and thought leaders—with additional presenters being announced!
And we are just getting started.
**Tell your teachers.
Tell your principals.
Tell your superintendent.
Tell your colleagues.
Tell your church.
Tell your organization.
Tell your friends.**
