SEPT. 25: TRAFFICKING BANNED BOOKS

2pm to 3pm, RSC Conference Room B

In 2012, Tucson Public Schools abolished the highly successful Mexican American Studies program and publicly confiscated all of the related books.  To protest this action, a group of writers banded together to form Librotraficante. The group started a nationwide campaign to smuggle the banned books back into Tucson.  Liana Lopez, a founding member, will discuss Librotraficante's efforts to preserve and promote Mexican American Studies and the social challenges faced by minorities.
