On Monday April 21st, at 6pm, the Rare Book and Manuscript Library is hosting a significant — and hilarious! — discussion to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the arrest in New York City of comedian Lenny Bruce on charges of obscenity.

Our Speakers for the Evening:

• Martin Garbus, one of the country’s top trial lawyers, who served on the legal team that defended Bruce in New York in 1964.
• Joan Bertin, Executive Director of the National Coalition Against Censorship
• Also starring: Lenny Bruce!
