Silenced Voices: A Banned Books Week Event

On Thursday, September 24th at 8:00 p.m. EST, join Amnesty International for a celebration of the words, images and sounds that would disappear from our world if we did not fight for freedom of expression!

Guest speakers will include representatives from the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) and the American Library Association (ALA), and renowned journalist, author and human rights defender, Maria Ressa. We will also hear a special message from award-winning journalist Christiane Amanpour!
