ALI VELSHI BANNED BOOK CLUB ON THE ABCS OF BOOK BANNING 
The Academy Award-nominated documentary short film The ABCs of Book Banning highlights the impact of banning books on school children, with emotional testimony from the kids themselves. The film features 101-year-old activist Grace Linn, whom Ali Velshi first interviewed last year after she spoke at a Martin County, FL school board meeting against the Moms for Liberty. In today’s edition of Banned Book Club, Velshi welcomes Linn back along with George M. Johnson, author of All Boys Aren’t Blue, Velshi’s first featured book in the series. Linn and Johnson discuss The ABCs of Book Banning and how limiting children’s access to literature not only stifles creativity and robs them of knowledge, but threatens the country’s future. (Philadelphia Citizen 2/20/24)

-“Journalism largely consists in saying "Lord Jones is dead" to people who never knew Lord Jones was alive.”  ― G.K. Chesterton
​“So much for Objective Journalism. Don't bother to look for it here--not under any byline of mine; or anyone else I can think of. With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in terms.”― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72
“People sometimes imagine that just because they have access to so many newspapers, radio and TV channels, they will get an infinity of different opinions. Then they discover that things are just the opposite: the power of these loudspeakers only amplifies the opinion prevalent at a certain time, to the point where it covers any other opinion.”   ― Amin Maalouf, The First Century After Beatrice
​“Heartless gossips pose as professional press, they get a few quotes and run with the story like Seabiscuit to the finish line. They’re nothing more than conmen, salesmen, pitchmen, pompous men professing to be of public service—and they have the freedom to do so. There’s no price to pay.”  ― Pamela L Hamilton, Lady Be Good Lib/E: The Life and Times of Dorothy Hale
