Well said. ❤️
#BannedBooksWeek
It’s #bannedbooksweek! Boundary-pushing literature gives us the opportunity to expand our understanding of the human experience. We can’t purge & erase history just bc it makes us uncomfortable. It’s through discomfort that we learn the most about ourselves & each other.
