Real Conversation!
Some books make us uncomfortable, challenge what we’ve been taught, and introduce us to lives beyond our own. That’s exactly why access to them matters. 📚
As Banned Books Week begins, works by Black authors continue to face removal from school shelves and reading lists. Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye, Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give, and Tiffany D. Jackson’s Grown are among the titles that have faced restrictions, joining a much longer history of Black literature being challenged.
We’re revisiting essential reads from Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde, Alice Walker, Ta-Nehisi Coates, George M. Johnson, and more that have sparked conversation, confronted difficult truths, and left their mark on generations of readers.
