Critical Conversation: Book Banning and the Freedom of Expression

Saturday, March 23, 2024 @ 6:30pm



The Vogel
99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701

In an era marked by increasing restrictions on creative expression, the need to foster and protect creativity has never been more critical. Join the Count Basie Center for the Arts for an insightful and thought-provoking event as we delve into the complex landscape of book bans in the modern age.

This event will feature special guest George Johnson, the New Jersey native and New York Times bestselling author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, the groundbreaking “memoir-manifesto” exploring his journey growing up as a queer Black man in Plainfield and Virginia. The discussion will also feature insight from area librarians and scholars on the chilling effects of book bans on both speech and overall creative expression.
