Last year, the American Library Association reported a 20% increase from the previous year in efforts to ban books in the US in both school and public libraries. As WYPR education reporter Bri Hatch reported, 148 titles were challenged in Maryland last year, which made our state one of more than a dozen states to exceed one hundred banned books. Maryland is one of the states with laws that require specific criteria for removing books from libraries, and which protect library personnel who act within that criteria.

The original Broadway production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" told the story of two families hiding out from the Nazis. In the second episode of "Playing Anne Frank," hear three stories about how the show itself became a refuge from persecution in Russia, Nazi-occupied Europe and McCarthy-era America for its crew and actors. Featuring interviews with Marc Aronson, whose parents, Boris Aronson and Lisa Jalowetz, designed the set; Joe Gilford, whose father played Mr. Dussel on Broadway; and Eva Rubinstein, who originated the role of Margot Frank on Broadway.
Marc Aronson has a doctorate in American history and is a member of the graduate faculty in the library school at Rutgers. Marc is the author of "Master of Deceit: J. Edgar Hoover and America in the Age of Lies" unmasks the man behind the Bureau- his tangled family history and personal relationships; his own need for secrecy, deceit, and control; and the broad trends in American society that shaped his world. Hoover may have given America the security it wanted, but the secrets he knew gave him — and the Bureau — all the power he wanted. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support

The poet Walt Whitman wrote in his 1867 edition of Leaves of Grass that New York was a “City of the world! (for all races are here, All lands of the earth make contributions here…”) How that city came to be on the island of Manhattan, and what it has meant for the United States and the world over the centuries, is the subject of Marc Aronson's new book Four Streets and a Square: A History of Manhattan and the New York Idea (Candlewick Press, 2021). Aronson argues that the density of Manhattan has put different kinds of people close to each other--fostering curiosity, conflict and new cultural hybrids ranging from blackface minstrelsy to musical theater to street photography To give a focus and structure to his story, Aronson organizes his material around streets and squares that have, in different times, framed formative encounters between New Yorkers: Wall Street, Union Square, Forty Second Street, 125th Street, and West Fourth Street. Aronson's narrative reaches from the days of Munsee villages to the recent past, but he devotes special attention to Manhattan since 1900, when the island at the center of New York City matured into a global capital of culture, media, and finance. While well aware of the inequalities and injustice present in Manhattan and New York City, and the ravages of the coronavirus pandemic, Aronson keeps with faith with the idea of Manhattan as an inclusive home and a site of great cultural energy. Four Streets and a Square is accompanied by a rich array of digital sources and resources at https://marcaronson.com/four-streets-and-a-square/. Aronson, an author, editor and historian, is on the graduate faculty at the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information. He was born in Manhattan and lives in New Jersey. Robert W. Snyder is Manhattan Borough Historian and professor emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University.

The full, unedited interviews with Candy J. Cooper, Marc Aronson, and Brianna Briggs.
POISONED WATER: How the Citizens of Flint, Michigan, Fought for Their Lives and Warned a NationIn 2014, the residents of Flint, Michigan noticed that their water was a copper hue and smelled and tasted like sulfur. Some residents began using bottled water, but many of those who didn't started to experience rashes, hair loss, children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses; others died. Still, city officials claimed water tests were normal. It wasn't until nearly a year later when Flint resident Lee Ann Walters sent a water sample to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) herself that the truth came out: the citizens of Flint were being poisoned by their own water supply. Through interviews with residents and intensive research into legal records and news accounts, journalist Candy J. Cooper, assisted by writer-editor Marc Aronson, reveal the true story of Flint. Poisoned Water shows not just how the crisis unfolded in 2014 but is a riveting look at an alarming story of a government who turned away from its citizens – and the power of those same citizens who rose up to demand action.

Soon, children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses; others died. Citizens of Flint protested that the water was dangerous. Despite what seemed so apparent from the murky, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city’s faucets, officials refused to listen. The residents later discovered the water had been poisoning thousands of people. Candy J. Cooper and Marc Aronson will be appearing at the virtual Miami Book Fair November 15-22, 2020.
