message 10: by Kirsten (new)

Kirsten  (kmcripn) Let's take a stand against censorship! Ralph Ellison's landmark 1952 novel Invisible Man has just been banned from school libraries in Randolph County, NC, due to a lack of "literary value".

Huh. The National Book Foundation had no problem awarding him the National Book Award for the book in 1953.

I challenge everyone to take their stand against censorship by reading this novel!
