Went to a discussion at the library last night that was very interesting. About the history of books being banned in America and the efforts going on today to ban books. Hosted by Ali Velshi, the panel included Amy Werbel, Whitney Strub, Farrah Jasmine Griffin and Laurie Halse Anderson. The program opened with actor André De Sheilds, who read a passage by author Toni Morrison. We all have a duty to defend free expression and artistic freedom in any form. We can’t allow these political action committees to scare people into banning books they are afraid of.
