Black Book Bans: On Banning Tony Morrison's the Bluest Eyes and Others

Description

Why is it that at the behest of one or several people, books all over America are being investigated, challenged, or banned? I thought we were a collective. Why is one person in a school district-parent, teacher, or an objecting student-given so much power? This is why book bans have always baffled me.
