Fairfax County, Virginia parent Laura Murphy has been trying since 2013 to have the book "Beloved" by Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winning author Toni Morrison banned from Fairfax County Public School libraries. In 2021, another of Ms. Morrison's books, "The Bluest Eye", is the target of removal from Virginia Beach Public Schools, this time by VB School Board members Victoria Manning and Laura Hughes. "The Bluest Eye" is one of six books they want to see removed from VBPS libraries and high school curriculum, because of their racial and/or sexual content. Parental involvement in curriculum decisions in public schools became a political issue during the recent gubernatorial campaign, with incoming Governor Glenn Youngkin promising to restore the rights of parents to have a say in their child's education. So who gets to decide what children learn, and is banning books the way to achieve the goal? We take a deep dive into the issue with author, former Poet Laureate, and professor emeritus at ODU, Tim Seibles; Ph.D candidate and curriculum and award-winning community program developer, Jimmeka Anderson; and Donna Graham Elliott, Ed.D, retired high school administrator, instructional leader and English teacher in the Virginia Beach School System, who currently serves as an adjunct professor at Tidewater Community College and University Supervisor of English at the College of William and Mary.
In this episode, we talk with the brilliant Jacqueline Woodson about Hurdy-Gurdy by Tim Seibles. When she first heard the poems from the book at one of Seibles' readings in 1992, Jacqueline felt like she was being invited to a party for the first time. She felt like she could finally understand poetry and she's enjoyed the book now for almost thirty years. We read some of our favorite poems from Hurdy-Gurdy, talk about what it means to paint with words, the importance of place in poetry, and Jacqueline even recites passages of her own work from memory (Yes, she's that cool). Hearing the power of Jacqueline's language will really make you want to go read one(or all) of her books.

Described as the "New Negro Movement" and the "flowering of Negro literature", the Harlem Renaissance was the name of the cultural, social and artistic explosion that took place in Harlem between 1917 and 1935. Black writers, scholars, artists, musicians, photographers and poets flocked to Harlem where they could freely express themselves. But it was more than a literary movement...it was also a time of racial pride. On the next Another View poets and authors Tim Seibles, Remica Bingham and Shonda Buchanan give us a history lesson on the Harlem Renaissance and share the similarities between African American artists then and today.
