DeleteCensorship.org

By Shawn Healy

Half-Priced Books assembled a user-friendly and interactive web site in conjection with Banned Books Awareness Week. The most compelling feature is a scrolling bar of controversial titles where the visitor can click on a book and read a short explanation of why it was challenged at one or many locales in the United States. Other educational resources pertinent to the subject are available, including podcasts and quotes from notable dignitaries. The site also invites visitor feedback in the form of blog entries about banned books.

The site can be accessed by clicking on the following link: DeleteCensorship.org.

About Fanning the Flames and the McCormick Freedom Project

Fanning the Flames is a blog of the McCormick Freedom Project, which was started in 2006 by museum managing director Shawn Healy. The blog highlights the news of the day, in hopes of engaging readers in dialogue about freedom issues. Any views or opinions expressed on this blog represent those of the writers alone and do not represent an official opinion of the McCormick Freedom Project.

Founded in 2005, the McCormick Freedom Project is part of the McCormick Foundation.

The museum offers programs and resources for teachers, students, and the general public.

First Amendment journalism initiative

The Freedom Project recently launched a new reporting initiative with professional journalists Tim McNulty and Jamie Loo. The goal is to expand and promote the benefits of lifelong civic engagement among citizens of all ages, through original reporting, commentary and news aggregation on First Amendment and freedom issues.
