Free talk about banned books at Clark Art

WILLIAMSTOWN, MA - As a part of Banned Books Week, the Clark Art Institute will host a special presentation on Saturday, September 17, bringing stories of underrepresented groups and civil rights leaders to light. The talk will take place in the Clark’s auditorium at 2 pm.
Created in response to growing challenges raised against certain books in schools and other institutions, Banned Books Week honors the freedom to read, access information, and express ideas. Spotlighting the lived experiences of marginalized groups and civil rights leaders, the conversation features stories that are rarely taught in schools. Yet, these stories hold an important place in history.
This free event is presented in connection with WAM Theatre’s upcoming production of Cadillac Crew and complements related local talks held at the Berkshire Athenaeum and the Stockbridge Library Museum and Archives.Capacity is limited.
