by Jason Reynolds & Ibram X. Kendi
🚫 Banned for exposing the roots of racism and challenging whitewashed history.

This isn’t a history book — it’s a wake-up call. Jason Reynolds breaks down Ibram X. Kendi’s groundbreaking research into a fast-paced, razor-sharp remix of how racism was built in America — and how we can tear it down. It names names, pulls no punches, and tells the truth schools often avoid.

Why it was banned: It dares to connect the dots between the past and present, calling out injustice and pushing readers to question what they’ve been taught.

Recommended for: Teen truth-seekers, future change-makers, and anyone tired of watered-down lessons and ready to face the real story behind the headlines.
