On April 8, also known as Right to Read Day, The New Republic is presenting a discussion on banned and challenged books with authors Lauren Groff, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ellen Hopkins, George M. Johnson, David Levithan, Ashley Hope Pérez, Jodi Picoult, and Jacqueline Woodson, hosted by MSNBC’s Katie Phang.” Register for free tickets to attend the event in Pinecrest, Florida, or stream online.
