The 1st Amendment, as I understand it, does not pertain to censorship from individuals, businesses, consumers, or culture; it is about censorship from the government.

My Mom’s $25k grant from the NEA was terminated last night.
There’s good reason to believe that this was done because her project focuses on Black and indigenous Hawaiian history.
If you have the means and want to support the project there’s a GoFundMe page. Link in comments
