MoveOn launches Banned Bookmobile

Jul 07 2023

This month, the progressive advocacy group MoveOn is launching a Banned Bookmobile. It’s a school bus tricked out with bookshelves containing frequently challenged titles, such as Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye,” Amanda Gorman’s “The Hill We Climb” and Art Spiegelman’s “Maus.”

This novel stunt is designed to highlight and counteract the GOP book bans raging across America. MoveOn plans to drive the bus around the country, dogging repressive presidential candidates and handing out free copies of challenged books.
