New York City’s Latino literary community will converge to participate in “50 for Freedom of Speech,” a national day of action protesting the de facto banning of Latino literature in the state of Arizona (with similar legislation poised to pass in other states as a result).
Reading by banned Puerto Rican author and award-winning poet MartÃn Espada and readings of other banned book texts by some of New York City’s top Latino academic, literary and spoken word talent.
Organized by: Librotraficante, Sangre Viva Arts Alliance and Acentos, Latino Rebels and La Casa Azul Bookstore
