Event Title: Amnesty International Banned Books Reading
During Banned Books Week, Amnesty International directs attention to the plight of individuals who are persecuted because of the writings that they produce, circulate or read. Recognizing the relationship between the freedom to read and the freedom to create, Amnesty International joins with the American Library Association to raise awareness about censorship and the right to freedom and expression. This event seeks to emphasize human rights and freedom of conscience while addressing the real-life cases of people imprisoned for their expression as well as books and other cultural materials that have been banned, challenged, suppressed, or censored in the United States and abroad. Amnesty International at GCC, with the support of GCC Library, will host a Banned Books Reading where members of the campus community will be invited to read short excerpts from and provide context about books with a history of censorship.
