How do you feel about censorship? Should someone have to right to restrict what you can read? Is it ever appropriate? What justification? This SIG will meet the third Thursday of each month at 10:30 am via Zoom, to discuss great novels that have been banned for some reason. September 19: "Go Tell It on the Mountain", by James Baldwin. The books for October, November and December will be selected by the group from a master list. Handouts will be emailed a few days before each session.
