UNBANNED: Exploring Censorship in Books, Art, and Media

Four Freedoms Park Conservancy and the National Coalition Against Censorship are hosting UNBANNED.  Engage in a dynamic public program responding to the growing threats of censorship in books, art, and media. UNBANNED invites audiences to understand the current challenges to free expression and learn more about the vital role of the Four Freedoms — particularly Freedom of Speech and Expression — in civic life.

Stop by the Banned Book Library (May 16 – June 2) anytime during Park hours!
10:00am – 6:00pm Weds through Mon
Park is CLOSED on Tuesdays

The display was created by Lush Cosmectics in collaboration with the Zinn Education Project Teach Truth campaign for SXSW and has been adapted into a mini pop-up display used around the country. This curated collection features books and media that have been challenged or banned in schools, libraries, and communities across the country.

Visitors are encouraged to read, reflect, and engage with the stories behind each book’s censorship, gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural and political forces shaping what we’re allowed — or not allowed — to read.
