Huckleberry Finn was banned because a certain racial slur re-appeared a few times during its narrative. Even though it was clear that the author was denouncing slavery and the discrimination against African Americans, the authorities didn't want children to incorporate this word into their speech. Also, some held the opinion that Jim's character was too limited and perpetuated racial stereotypes rather than rising above them.
