Description
Our Banned Books series continues with a book frequently banned from organizations across the spectrum: from public commissioners in several states soon after its publication to the NAACP in the 1950s to the most recent challenges from both the political left and the right. Set before the Civil War, teenager Huck and adult Jim flee together leaving their families behind them along the Mississippi River. Jim flees slavery and leaves his family behind with great distress; on the other hand, Huck flees his father’s abuse. Please read the book so you can participate in our structured, facilitated, Zoom discussion. (Note: Please join the meeting at 3 pm if you would like some assistance using the features of Zoom. Otherwise, join us at 3:15 pm for the start of our discussion.)
