San Francisco Public Library reposted this
On this national day of social action, in partnership with San Francisco Unified School District - African American Achievement & Leadership Initiative (AAALI), the San Francisco Public Library hosted a fierce group of intellectual freedom fighters for a banned books rally organized by the Third Baptist Freedom School. Marching from the steps of City Hall to the Main Library with these young people chanting “Don’t ban books! Protect the freedom to read!” was truly inspiring and easily one of the best days yet in my 30+ year career in public service. Special thanks to LATICIA ERVING, Director of the SFUSD - AAALI for your partnership and Shawna Sherman, Program Manager for the African American Center for organizing this amazing opportunity for young people to make their voices heard to protect intellectual freedom. #FreePeopleReadFreely #thekidsarealright #thefutureisbright 📚📚📚📚
