While closing up the bookstore the other night I was thinking how crazy can this be… as I was re-shelving one of the books they’ve banned in Tennessee. Topics not allowed to be discussed…books not allowed to be read…I don’t have the words to express my sadness and dismay…so I walked around our bookstore and listened to what the voices around me had to say. Kurt Vonnegut was first to speak…at how banning book displeases: “I hate”, he said, “that Americans are taught to fear some books and some ideas, as though they were diseases”. Mart Twain was next on banning speech and books…he doesn’t want to see us do it: “Censorship”, he said, “is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby cannot chew it”. Next stood Benjamin Franklin…with his willingness to teach “Whoever wold overthrow the liberty of a nation,” he said, “must begin by subduing the freeness of its speech”. Stephen Chbosky waited his turn in the bookstore to be heard that night: He said, “banning books gives us silence when we need speech… it closes our ears when we need to listen and it makes us blind when we need sight”. Isaac Asimov weighted in next…he was succinct in what he was conceding: “Any book worth banning," he’s said, “is a book that is worth reading.” Up and down the bookstore I walked listening to a multitude of authors from the present and past…and fortunately for me…I saved the best for last.. It was Maya Angelou whose words are always inspiring, thought provoking and wise…She said, “You may kill me with your hatefulness but still, like air…I rise”. I thanked Maya and all the other authors for their insights as I turned off all the lights Then wished them a calm and peaceful sleep as I locked up for the night Filled with hope that for those who want to ban books and speech…there will come a day when they will take a walk through a bookstore or a library and listen to what the voices have to say,
