An organization in Selma is spreading Christmas cheer through literacy.
SELMA, Ala. -
The Zeta Eta Omega of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. held a “Reading is Fun” event Saturday at the George P. Evans Reception Hall.There were also free books available for each child from every grade level. Chapter president Karen Brown said reading is vital to children’s education, and it’s critical that they know how to read before going to third grade.
“We know the governor is planning on doing that literacy test,” Brown said, “If they’re not reading at third grade level once they’re in the third grade, they’re going to hold them back.”“If you can’t read, you can’t do math,” Perkins said, “If you can’t read, you can’t get a driver’s license because you can’t pass the test. If you can’t read, you can’t take full advantage of the computer.”
The Selma chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha holds events throughout the year to promote literacy so they can teach children at early an age “the benefits of reading.”

Best New Pickup Trucks of 2022 and 2023Although the nameplate originally was used on a less-than-stellar compact car line in the 1970s, Ford has revived the Maverick name for its new small pickup truck, and has slotted it into the lineup below the mid-size Ranger. This time, the Maverick is an impressive package worthy of an Editors' Choice award. Instead of sharing parts and mechanicals with the Ranger, the Maverick rides on the same chassis as the Bronco Sport compact crossover. The standard powertrain is a hybrid setup that consists of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, a continuously variable automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. Ford also offers all-wheel drive, but only with the optional nonhybrid turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. All models sport the same four-door crew cab body style with a 4.5-foot bed. The Maverick is part of a new class of small pickup trucks that Hyundai is also entering with the upcoming Santa Cruz.Review, Pricing, and Specs
