BLACK & BANNED:
Refusing to Let Our History be Whitewashed

Join us as invited readers share passages from banned books, either penned by Black authors or illuminating racism and Black American history, with personal insight into WHY the book has been targeted. Attendees may also read from chosen material. All will have the opportunity to join in conversation!

This event is meant to celebrate the freedom to read what we choose to, without government or public interference -- an essential right to creating a better world for everyone!

Free and Open to the Public
