The Los Angeles Times held their annual Festival of Books event on April 20 and April 21. The event took place on the USC campus and hosted over 200 vendors, performers and speakers. The event is held every year in April and hosts conversations with authors, journalists and professionals in publishing and media. The festival provided publishers and bookstores the opportunity to further connect with the community. The event took place amid tension on the USC campus after they announced they would not allow their Valedictorian, Asna Tabassam, to give her commencement speech.
