"Great countries don't hide from their history. They learn from it, and when necessary, they confront it."
— Alan Spears, National Parks Conservation Association
Since 2021, over 22,800 books have been removed from American schools — the majority targeting Black voices, Black history, and the Black experience. These aren't dangerous books. They are Pulitzer Prize winners. National Book Award recipients. Works by Nobel laureates.
UnBanned exists because these books belong in every home, classroom, and community. No school board gets to decide otherwise.

"I ordered 'The Hate U Give' after my daughter's school removed it. It arrived in three days. She read it in two. Best $15 I've ever spent on her education."
"I'm a teacher. I can't assign these books anymore. But I can gift them. I bought 12 copies of 'Stamped' for my students through UnBanned. Every page, read."
