| Details: | Freedom to Write, Freedom to Read: The Story of PEN explores the history of PEN and its continuing relevance as an international organization focused on freedom of expression. Using the archive of both English PEN and PEN International at the Harry Ransom Center, this exhibition follows the founding of the organization of P.E.N. (poets, essayists, and novelists) as a dining club in London in 1921, its fight against the Nazi book burning campaigns in the 1930s, and its present status as the world's foremost association of writers, operating in more than 90 countries. This exhibition spotlights creators like Radclyffe Hall, Toni Morrison, Arthur Miller, Salman Rushdie, and Margaret Atwood alongside the everyday people who promote freedom of expression.
