Journalist Katie Phang shared a powerful video about the rising tide of book bans—including the banning of They Called Us Enemy in Tennessee. I’m honored she included my story in this important conversation. We cannot let these book bans stop us from telling our stories and histories.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com

Across the state, voters went to the polls and threw out right-wing school board members who built their local political brands on book bans, anti-LGBTQ policies and Christian nationalist culture-war panic
