Most know Rod Serling through The Twilight Zone, of course, but this CNN article reminds us that he was also somewhat of a social crusader. Tomorrow at Ithaca College, where Serling taught until his death in ’75, there will be a reading of his heavily censored script for the teleplay “Noon on Doomsday,” in which he tried to tell the story of murdered black teen in the South and the resulting miscarriage of justice in the case.

The reading will take place during a conference about Serling’s “life and legacy,” which is pretty friggin’ cool in and of itself. It will cover everything from his early radio shows, to his Planet of the Apes script, to his life as a teacher and, of course, lots of Twilight Zone.

If you wanna get in on the action, here’s the official site for the conference, complete with downloadable schedule and registration form.
