Free to Be…You and Me at 50: Music, Messages, and Memories

February 27, 2025 at 7 – 8 pm
Online

Free

In the early 1970s, Marlo Thomas and fellow collaborators brought the struggle for gender equality into playrooms and classrooms across America. Free to Be…You and Me challenged stereotypes and encouraged freedom of expression through catchy songs such as “William’s Doll,” “Parents Are People,” and “It’s Alright to Cry.” This online program will feature entertaining audio & video clips, brief historical commentary, and an informal discussion led by cultural historian Lori Rotskoff. Join us for a retrospective look at the creation, popular reception, and ongoing legacy of the legendary children’s album, book, and TV special—while sharing your own memories, thoughts, and questions with other participants.
