“…you are either fighting racism in this world or you are a part of it, and accepting it and promoting it. That is -- there are no middle grounds on issues like this. There is no middle ground on hatred, there's no middle ground on violence. There's no middle ground on racism.”

@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

"Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." - Judy Blume

#BannedBooksWeek #CensorshipIsSo1984 #LibrarySky

Quote from Judy Blume reads "Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me." An illustration shows a young girl reading a book on a green bean bag. The cover of the book says "I love to read." Art is by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, based on a character from The Pain and The Great One.
