The police were called on Ronald & his mother. When the police arrived, they asked library staff, “Why don’t you just let them checkout the books?” Ronald and his mom were reluctantly allowed to borrow the books.

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
