evening of readings and discussion in observation of Banned Book Week at Black Oak Books in Berkeley on September 24, 2003. Former poet laureate Robert
Hass, Victor Fischer, editor of the Mark Twain Papers, prison activist Daniel Burton Rose, and others will
read from banned works from the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. The right to write and the freedom to

future exercise of these freedoms depends on our current vigilance. A broadcast of this event will take place
