We are deeply concerned about the alleged inappropriate conduct of Morgan Freeman, who recently participated in the PEN America Literary Gala to present Stephen King with the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award. Given PEN America’s commitment to defending fundamental human rights, we believe it is imperative to listen to and support those affected by assault, harassment, and other forms of misconduct, and to ensure that allegations are credibly examined so that victims have genuine recourse.
