Friends,
One of the largest prisons in Illinois just banned hundreds of books. Most of them are on race, racism, justice, freedom, & liberation.
They even banned "Up From Slavery" by Booker T. Washington.
Let's take ACTION.

Not to distract from the larger point, but they banned Booker T. Washington’s “Up From Slavery?” He was a fairly conservative proponent of uplift and accommodation. There’s no way the prison authorities read the book before they banned it. If they did, they didn’t understand it.
