Banned Books Week - Uncensored: Voices of a Generation

The Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library is a public-benefit, nonprofit organization championing the literary, artistic and cultural contributions of the late writer, artist and Indianapolis native Kurt Vonnegut. The library seeks to engage people in the written word — especially their own. We are in a brand new home in a historic building in downtown Indianapolis (543 Indiana Ave.), thanks to over 1,400 supporters. Learn more about us at Vonnegutlibrary.org.

Join us for an afternoon dedicated to our Youth Writing Program

Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library

T﻿he Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library invites you to an afternoon in celebration of youth voices and storytelling in honor of Banned Books Month, free expression, and free speech. Hear 2022 Indy Youth Poet Laureate Charlotte Yeung recite her poetry and Shortridge High School students read their works published in the Youth Writing Program Literary Journal Reverberations. Anthony Murdock II of Circle City Storytellers will also speak to the importance of telling your story. Charlotte Yeung is a bestselling author, former English tutor for Afghan refugees, and 2022 Indy Youth Poet Laureate. Her children's book, Isabelle and the Magic Bird, was an Amazon Best Seller and #1 New Release. She is organizing a poetry workshop series with women in Afghanistan in collaboration with Pax Populi and Purdue Honors College. A former American Battlefield Trust National Team Leader and YES Fellow, she lobbied her representatives for battlefield preservation and for mental health in high schools (and spoke with the Biden-Harris Transition Team on the latter). She is the author of Verge, a sci-fi novel, and Coloring Climate Justice, a coloring book. Her award-winning art and writing is published on multiple platforms including The New York Times. She is a Sophomore at Purdue University majoring in Political Science and can be found @cmyeungg.
