OTD in 1970 IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN, written and illus. by Maurice Sendak, was published. Diapers painted on Mickey caused #UrsulaNordstrom to rally against censorship.

On March 17th, a House Committee voted in favor of H.R. 7661, a book banning bill using a vague definition of “sexually oriented” materials. Tell your Representative to oppose H.R. 7661 and support the right to read: https://app.oneclickpolitics.com/campaign-page?cid=KOQDC08atRCJ0J1U6j3C5&lang=en
