All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 5, 2023

This Pride Month, in light of the increase in book banning around the nation, particularly of books featuring LGBTQIA+ characters or themes, we are spending the month spotlighting authors of these frequently challenged books. Up first this month we talk to George M. Johnson, author of the acclaimed young adult memoir, All Boys Aren't Blue. According to the American Library Association, the book was the second most banned title of 2022. We talk to Johnson about their book, and about the experience of witnessing their book being banned across the country.
