I was not there, but I am sure that either or both were removed for the use of the southern term for an African-American, ni**er . This was and even today is considered a racist comment. There are still libraries today that do not have Huckelberry Finn on their shelves.

"Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer" were removed from the Brooklyn Public Library in 1905 due to concerns over the content being inappropriate for young readers. The decision was influenced by the language and themes in the books, including racism and violence, which were deemed unsuitable for a public library collection at the time.
