<p>On Wednesday, May 24, 2023,&nbsp;<em>The Miami Herald</em>&nbsp;<a href="https://omiami.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b7bd33d0860ecb05667317f15&amp;id=529ab8f7fc&amp;e=1990b5c523" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>reported that Bob Graham K-8 in Miami Lakes restricted access&nbsp;</strong></a>to one poem and three books after a parent made a formal complaint. The poem in question is Amanda Gorman&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Hill We Climb,&rdquo; which was read at President Biden&rsquo;s inauguration. One of the books is&nbsp;<em>The ABCs of Black History,&nbsp;</em>a children&rsquo;s book by Rio Cortez.</p> <p>O, Miami&nbsp;<a href="https://omiami.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b7bd33d0860ecb05667317f15&amp;id=3c01294c12&amp;e=1990b5c523" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>published Rio&rsquo;s first chapbook</strong></a>&nbsp;in 2016.</p> <p>At O, Miami, we believe book censorship is a dangerous trend whose historical practice targets minority groups and preludes greater violence. It must always be taken seriously.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@omiami/book-bans-in-florida-29c41eedacdb"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
