I am reading The Grapes of Wrath. It had been on to read list for a long time and when it was banned in some backward southern state, I bought a copy.

I understand why they banned it and I understand why every american student should read it.

#books #library #resistance

@MichelPatrice

no doubt that the era is fucked up

but I would argue that #reading has *always* been an act of resistance, education is foundational to movement building and long understood as the key first step to cultural change

that's why they ban the books
