National Literacy Action Week (NLAW) is an event during which campus literacy programs nationwide join together to raise awareness about literacy and create change on their campuses and in their communities.
Throughout its history, SCALE has supported the activist initiatives of campus-based literacy programs across the country. NLAW is a SCALE initiative for strengthening literacy activism.
This year, NLAW was February 1-February 7, 2010, scheduled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement's first lunch counter sit-in on February 1, 1960, in Greensboro, North Carolina.
