Barack Obama appears in Kankakee library TikTok video to put focus on book bans
“A book like “Alice in Wonderland” and “The Color Purple,” it’s ridiculous why those would be banned from any library,” library director Allison Beasley said, citing two more books the video featured. “We wanted to highlight that book banning can be for any type of book.”
“Either way, the impulse seems to be to silence, rather than engage, rebut, learn from or seek to understand views that don’t fit our own,” Obama wrote. “No matter what community we’re in, our goal is informing, enriching, empowering. And none of that can happen if people are censoring what other people are trying to read,” Beasley said.
