Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates. A text in my collection and pretty good author. It explores race, identify, and systemic violence faced by black Americans. Problematic because it’s provocative sociopolitical commentary. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

The 1916 Project by Nikole Hannah-Jones. This explores its legacy and role in building the foundation of the U.S. as we know it. Problematic because it focuses on systemic racism. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds. It dissects racist theories and suggest how to build an antiracist society. Not sure why that’s a problem. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Haven’t read this one tho. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Surprising because I think this is a film and I wasn’t aware it was a book. It is considered controversial for challenging law enforcement. And allegedly mature language. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

Index Librorum Prohibitorum by the Catholic Church. Never heard of it but provides a list of materials banned by the church. This is surprising because I went to a Catholic School 🤔. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter

The Holy Bible and other sacred texts in schools and libraries. This is surprising because it is due to sexual and violent content. I’d have expected it to be out of respect for other religions. Odd but not odd. #BannedBooksWeek #LetBooksBe #AllBooksMatter
