Book Bans Have Long Targeted Marginalized Communities
Original: This is Nothing New: Book Bans and their History of Targeting Marginalized Communities
The ACLU of Indiana argues that today's wave of book bans is not a new phenomenon, but a continuation of a long history of censorship aimed at marginalized communities. The group draws links between past efforts to remove books and current challenges in schools and libraries, framing restrictions as tools that have repeatedly silenced minority voices.
Why now: Ongoing debates over book removals in US schools and libraries are keeping the history of censorship in public discussion.
