Robert Cormier:
Censorship and
Intolerance
A Symposium at Fitchburg State University
Thursday, October 1, 2015
�#digitalcormier
Words from
Robert Cormier
“Emotions provide the color, the weather and even the stuff that
creates the characters. All the characters in the stories are me
before they are anyone else. And they are born out of my emotions,
the things that dazzle me. Injure me, and touch me — with out these
emotions there would be no novels and no stories to write.”
“The irony of book-banning attempts is that the publicity often causes
people to read the books for the wrong reasons. If a book is controversial,
perhaps the best place for it is in the classroom where, under the guidance
of a teacher, the book can be discussed and evaluated, where each student
will be free to proclaim how he or she feels about the book and, in fact, can
even refuse to read the book. The point is that free choice must be involved.”
“They tell you to do your own thing but they don’t mean
it. They don’t want you to do your thing, not unless it
happens to be their thing, too.”
“I cannot apologize for what I have written, however, and don’t even
want to attempt to rationalize. It is simply impossible for me to sit at a
typewriter and worry about the effect my writing will have on readers.
This, to me, would be the death of all creativity.”
�Robert Cormier: Censorship and Intolerance
Symposium at Fitchburg State University
Amelia V. Gallucci-Cirio Library and Archive
12:00 - 5:00 EST, Thursday, October 1, 2015
Opening Statements 12:00 – 12:30 EST (11:00-11:30 CST)
Dr. Elise Takehana
Dr. Annamary Consalvo
Dr. Marilyn McCaffrey
Keynote Address: TITLE 12:30 – 1:30 EST (11:30-12:30 CST)
Dr. Katherine Wisser
Archivists face a myriad of challenges in meeting the responsibilities of access to their collections.
Access to archival materials is complicated by social, cultural, legal and technological concerns.
Additional notions of privacy, security and accountability can create an ethical tap dance that
archivists continually practice. Access is complex; archivists navigate this complexity through self
reflection, innovation, and a strong commitment to the serious responsibilities imbued in record
keeping.
Censorship Panel 1:40-2:40 EST (12:40-1:40 CST)
Dr. Daniel Sarefield — Dr. Laura Baker — Angie Miller — Angela Pitrone
This panel presents historical, cultural, and pedagogical perspectives on censorship from teachers,
librarians, and historians. Panelists will address how censorship affects the growth of knowledge
and the exercise of freedom. While panelists may not specifically mention the work of Robert
Cormier, they will provide points of comparison to Robert Cormier’s own views on censorship as
a violation to an individual’s right to make their own choices, an affront to America’s freedom of
expression, and worse still, an insult to the perceptiveness and critical aptitude of both the writer
and reader.
Founding the Robert E. Cormier Collection 2:50-3:50 EST (1:50-2:50 CST)
Robert Foley — Chris Cormier-Hayes — Asher Jackson — Coco O’Toole Zephir
This panel presents a structured retrospective conversation among founder of Robert Cormier’s
sizable literary archive housed near the author’s home and the geographical location for much of
Cormier’s fiction. Panelists will address the significance of the conception, creation, administration,
and oversight of this large archive from their unique perspective.
“THE SUMMER MY NOVEL GOT BANNED: Covert Homophobia, Social Media,
and the Censorship of The Miseducation of Cameron Post” 4:00-5:00 EST (3:004:00 CST)
emily m. danforth
YA author, emily danforth, will talk on her experience with and response to censorship. Her 2012
novel, The Miseducation of Cameron Post, fell under fire at the Cape Henlopen School District in
Lewes, Delaware in 2014.
Virtual Symposium Attendance
A limited number of virtual “seats” will be available for teachers, faculty, and their classes to

�About the Robert Cormier Digital Exhibit
Drs. Annamary Consalvo and Elise Takehana have assembled novel typescripts, essay drafts, letters,
speeches, photographs, student artifacts, and historical news coverage of Robert Cormier’s work
as it pertains to censorship and the importance of reading in young adults. Particular attention has
been paid to his three most often taught novels The Chocolate War, I Am the Cheese, and Fade.
The exhibit includes five collections:
Censorship Battles
This collection details Robert Cormier’s thoughts on defending his work against censorship and
the perspectives of other parties battling censorship attempts. It includes letter exchanges with
individuals fighting in censorship battles and those seeking Cormier’s advice and assistance. Draft
versions of Cormier’s essay “A Book Is Not a House” along with his signed statement on the
subject of censorship appear here.
Objectors
This collection includes material surrounding the objections brought against Robert Cormier’s
work and a range of responses to those objections. Included are letter exchanges with readers
and parents who took offense to Cormier’s books as well as from defenders seeking perspective
and advice on approaching Cormier’s naysayers. Magazine coverage representing detractors and
critics of Cormier are included along with defenses from Cormier and from students who gained
from reading his work.
Robert Cormier as a Reader and Writer
This collection features details on Robert Cormier’s experiences and feeling on reading and
writing including Cormier’s letters and loose drafts that address his motives as a writer and the
significance of reading and writing to his, and by extension, any child’s life. Pieces included here
also describe Cormier’s hometown of Leominster, Massachusetts and photographs of the area and
of Cormier.
Robert Cormier in the Classroom
This collection showcases student writing and teachers’ curricular work as it relates to Robert
Cormier’s novels. Students from middle school to graduate school have interacted with Cormier’s
work in rich and varied ways, which is represented in this section of the exhibit. Included are
letter exchanges with students and classes. Teacher lesson plans and student projects and papers
contribute heavily here.
Self-Censorship and Outside Authority
This collection highlights Robert Cormier’s the ethical and authorial choices in his work. Often
Cormier painted censorship as an exercise of fear and distrust. Artifacts in this section of the
exhibit chronicle Cormier’s feelings on the writer’s and reader’s roles and the threat censors play to
those roles. Letters with students and teachers, typescripts of some of Cormier’s speaking events,
magazine and journal articles, and draft material from The Chocolate War appear in this collection.
