Also:
Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first banned in the 1890s because Twain's informal style of writing and use of colloquial language was new to the world. During the 1960s civil rights era, certain black
communities failed to understand Twain's satire and labeled the book as racist. Even after a century, some schools still ban the book despite the fact that Mark Twain was a public advocate for racial equaliy.
Other banned books have included TROPIC of CANCER, LITTLE BLACK SAMBO. GO ASK ALICE. To Kill a Mockingbird. Many more books have been banned over the years because someone was offended by drug or sexual activity, or believed something concerned and/or glorified the occult, or the book contradicted someone's political or religious beliefs.
