To Ban or Not to Ban:

Please post your response to the following:

In response to the banning of TKAM, the Jim Crow Museum has responded with the following: "The staff of the Jim Crow Museum does not advocate the banning of  To Kill a Mockingbird. We recommend that it be read by every American. Books like To Kill a Mockingbird, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Uncle Tom's Cabin are useful tools for deep discussions about race, race relations, and racism. Books like these should not be banned because they use the 'N-word' or because they portray graphic depictions of racial bigotry. As Abraham Lincoln noted, 'We cannot escape history,' and these books are relatively accurate portrayals of sad periods in American history."
