Let Freedom Read

banned books week

September 21st through 28th is Banned Books Week. To raise awareness about censorship there are read-outs being planned around the country.

If large numbers of people believe in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it. But if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them. George Orwell

Celebrate by reading a banned book.
