Podcast: NPR's Book of the DayPublished On: Wed Oct 04 2023
Description: Author George M. Johnson says they knew their memoir, All Boys Aren't Blue, would be challenged by school boards – but they didn't realize just how much controversy it would stir up. The memoir explores Johnson's upbringing as a queer young person of color in New Jersey and Virginia. In today's episode, they tell NPR's Leila Fadel that despite all the pushback the book has received, it's been overwhelmingly gratifying to see how much it's helped teachers, librarians, parents...and especially the students themselves.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
