Banned Book Week

September 29-October 6, 2007

Beloved

2007

Retained on the Northwest Suburban HS District 214 reading list in Arlington Heights (IL) along with eight other challenged titles. A newly elected school board member raised the controversy based on excerpts from the books she'd found on the Internet. Pulled from the senior AP English class at Eastern HS in Louisville (KY) because two parents complained that the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about antebellum slavery depicted the inappropriate topics of bestiality, racism and sex.


Held at Marshall (Drinko Library, PS3563.O8749 B4 1987).
