How Censorship is Threatening Our Constitutional Rights at the Local Level

Join us for a special screening and conversation hosted by Joyce Vance, former United States Attorney, professor of the practice of law at the University of Alabama school of law, and author of the "Civil Discourse" newsletter on Substack. Featuring Oscar-nominated Director/Producer Kim A Snyder alongside our courageous librarian/film participants representing public and school libraries affected by the recent Fifth Circuit ruling which opened the door to a new era of book bans, Amanda Jones (LA) and Suzette Baker (TX).
