“For a lot of us, it doesn't always feel like you're banning the book itself. Sometimes it feels like you're banning the people that those books are about, like, that you're saying that those lives are lives that should only exist in the shadows, that those lives, though they're 10 feet away, no matter which direction you turn, you keep looking over them.” — Jason Reynolds
