COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Gamma Nu Omega chapter donated copies of South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley’s book, “Uncommon Favor,” to Heyward Gibbes Middle School in partnership with the Philadelphia Reading Corner.
According to Richland County School District One, the Philadelphia Reading Corner supports opportunities for youth and families to engage with literature. Staley grew up in North Philadelphia.
Sorority members also led an hourlong introductory activity in which students discussed the definition of “uncommon” and made connections between their lives and Staley’s.
The activity was held at the middle school Friday at 1:30 p.m.
