The book Huckleberry Finn has been banned by many school boards and removed from the shelves of libraries.
The earliest banning was in 1885 at Concord, Mass. The Public Library banned the year-old book for its "coarse language" - this refers to the use of what is now called "the n word" more than 200 times throughout the book. In 1905, the Brooklyn Public Library followed Concord's lead, banishing the book from the building's juvenile section, explaining: "Huck not only itched but scratched, and that he said sweat when he should have said perspiration."
It is periodically banned for similar reasons.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as it varies by region and is not systematically tracked. The banning of "Huckleberry Finn" in public schools often stems from concerns about its use of racial slurs and themes, which some educators view as inappropriate for students.
