Librarian-in-Residence: Martha Hickson at Bayard Rustin Center For Social Justice in Princeton
Saturday, April 29, 2023 – 1:00PM to 2:30PM
They’re honored to welcome our award-winning BRCSJ Librarian-in-Residence Martha Hickson back to enlighten us about the state of censorship & what YOU can do to defend the right to read!
In schools & libraries around the country, extremists are attempting to ban books & trample students’ First Amendment right to read. In a discussion designed to educate, aggravate, & activate, Martha will deliver the latest news on censorship, share the strategies she used to fight back here in NJ, & provide you with tips & tools to keep free people reading freely.
As the extraordinary Martha sez her own self, “Defending the right to read is not a one-person job. The Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice with its commitment to diverse voices & safe spaces is the perfect ally for libraries & by partnering with the Center we will fight the Ed Scare affecting our schools, libraries, & the greater community.”
Join Martha & Chief Activist Robt Martin Seda-Schreiber in community-buildin’ conversation that promises to be equally empowerin’ & entertainin’
