About this Event
The Right to Read celebration, which will be live and livestreamed, will feature authors who are currently banned or who have been banned in the recent past; fellow writers who have taken up the cause; and teachers, librarians, and students who have been directly impacted by the book bans that are sweeping America (4,240 unique titles were challenged last year, an increase of almost 65% over 2022).
As part of the evening, we will feature book readings and conversations with a group of banned writers including Lauren Groff, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ellen Hopkins, George M. Johnson, Ashley Hope Perez, Jodi Picoult, and Jacqueline Woodson, with more to come.
For our grand finale, we want to go a step further by recognizing five extraordinary folks—authors, librarians, teachers, activists, and others—who have taken action with a Toni Morrison Courage Award—named after one of the most profound and courageous authors of our time.
This event is part of the national Teach Truth Day of Action.
