TAYLOR CELEBRITY APPEARANCE HIGHLIGHTS FIRST AMENDMENT FIGHT The controversy over free speech played out across America Aug. 5, as Brave Books’ inaugural “See You at the Library” event was held at over 300 public libraries nationwide.
Hundreds of people showed up with friends and children in tow to attend the Taylor event, which took place in the library’s public meeting room. Almost double the room’s capacity showed up for the event, leaving many families standing out in the 100-plusdegree heat Saturday afternoon. Some of those standing outside were not there to see actor Kirk Cameron, but to protest his appearance. While the event billed itself as a national movement for free speech, some local residents said the event’s intention was the opposite.
