Candace Morgan
ACLU of Oregon Board Member, Candace Morgan, has dedicated her professional career and volunteer efforts to intellectual freedom. In addition to her work as a librarian, she has revived the ACLU of Oregon’s participation in Banned Books Week, creating the only state-wide effort in the nation that brings together libraries, bookstores, and non-profits to educate around the freedom to read.
