The Day They Came to Arrest the Book by Nat Hentoff

 

Who would have believed that The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn could cause the worst crisis in the history of George Mason High School? Certainly not Barney Roth, editor of the school paper. But when a small but vocal group of students and parents decide that the book is racist, sexist, and immoral--and should be removed from reading lists and the school library--Barney takes matters into his own hands.

11:30 - 12:00 - Book Chatter

12:00 - 1:00 - Moderated Book Discussion

 

The discussion will be moderated by the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach Book Goddess, Tina Maura. 

 

This is a brown-bag lunch event.  Bring your own lunch or purchase lunch before you arrive from any downtown Merchant.

 

This event is free and open to Friends members and the public.  All are welcome.
