The African American Policy Forum and The New Republic stopped at Reverie Books last week during a tour of bookstores and libraries to educate communities about how to combat censorship.
The African American Policy Forum and The New Republic passed out books and other materials during its Banned Books Tour at Reverie Books in Austin last week.
Malveaux said she believes that after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 and with the end of COVID restrictions, many people are no longer paying attention to what’s going on regarding banned books and racial justice movements. “One or two or a few parents got together and challenged a book. Then it’s taken out of a public school or public library and the reality of that is: Do most parents want these books banned?" Malveaux said."Are the parents that want them banned even reading them? Most of them are not."
The tour has stopped at 10 bookstores so far, concentrating in states like Florida and Texas, where there have been larger efforts to censor books.
