Banned Together Screening In-Person
Join GPL for a special screening of the documentary Banned Together. Three young women in Beaufort, SC, fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate 97 books that were suddenly banned from their school libraries. Witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politicians, bestselling and banned authors, constitutional scholars, PEN America, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right To Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago, as the film's scope widens to include the larger national picture.
After the film, Karen Svoboda, Executive Director at Defense of Democracy, will answer questions.
