Fall of Freedom: A Read-In of Books Banned in Prisons

As part of the Fall of Freedom call to action, the Sing Sing Prison Museum presents a program of books banned in prisons, in cooperation with community partners Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) and Hudson Valley Books for Humanity. Hear passages from great works of art in support of free minds inside and outside the prison.


“Book banning and restrictions on literature must be opposed,” PEN American has reported, “because when society accepts the basic premise that ideas and information can be a threat, it opens the door toward the suppression of learning and information more broadly.”

The event is free, but registration is encouraged.
