[quote=Anonymous]I think your explanation is a severe exaggeration. All they did was remove her name from the award as a result of some racist language that was consistent with the language of the era when the books were written (1930s), but inappropriate today, especially since the books are nonfiction. In no way has she been "purged as an author". The ALA has made it very clear that they still encourage people to read and discuss the books as an important part of American history. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/25/us/laura-ingalls-wilder-book-award-trnd/index.html[/quote]
