The New American Gazette: Nora Dunn, David Ross and Rosanne Cash; "Freedom of Expression and Censorship in the Arts", at Ford Hall Forum, audio recording and transcript

Dunn, Nora · October 18, 1990

No issues are burning hotter in America today than those revolving around freedom of expression. A Cincinnati gallery director was put on trial for exhibiting Robert Mapplethorpe's photographs, a rap group lyrics have been found to be obscene in Florida, and the role--as well as the funding--of the National Endowment for the Arts is in question. Bringing their unique perspectives on freedom of expression and censorship in the arts to THE NEW AMERICAN GAZETTE this week are: singer and songwriter Rosanne Cash; Nora Dunn, comedienne and former cast member of Saturday Night Live; and David Ross, director of Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art, an exhibitor of Mapplethorpe's photographs.
