On Thursday, September 26, 2024 from 2-3:30pm on Zoom join us for a virtual program and learn more about the history of censorship.
When you walk into a library, you’re entering a controversial place--for it’s a venue where you can read, listen to, and watch media that could be considered potentially “dangerous” depending on where (or when) you live. Join is as we explore the history of the long saga of censorship and the need some cultures have to silence certain writers, artists, and musicians.
Led by Dr. Bill Thierfelder, a retired college professor who taught a variety of Arts and Humanities courses for 32 years at several New York universities and colleges, including St. John's University and Dowling College. He holds a Ph.D. in English, with minors in theater, art history and music history.
