Unleashing Banned books About Race, Part 1: Why Authors of Color Are Being Banned & Its Effect

Banned books have become a huge topic over the past few years. We’ve seen books banned by authors many of us grew up reading, and it's no coincidence that authors of color and LGBTQ authors are being banned disproportionately. But, why are books being banned and what are the negative effects? In this episode, we chat with guests Penny Eifrig, Crystel Patterson, and Sandra Elaine Scott about why and how books are being banned, what the creative community is doing about it, and whether it's ever appropriate.
