On Friday, August 6th, 2021 from 1-2:30pm on Zoom or watch it from our Kingsley Room, join us for an exciting tale of the history of movie censorship.
Join us and learn more about the 125-year history of movie censorship. From the film censorship boards of the early 1900’s to the Hays code in 1934, to the MPAA ratings system, Hollywood has struggled to balance free expression of the film maker, with societal concerns.
