Libro.fm and 40+ organizations representing parents, grassroots organizers, authors, librarians, booksellers, and publishers have signed a statement on the firing of Dr. Carla Hayden.⁠

📣 Share & act now
📧 bit.ly/EmailHayden

Slides with a teal background. Copy reads: We condemn the unjust firing of Dr. Carla Hayden, who has served as Librarian of Congress since 2016. Dr. Hayden’s firing is an assault on our freedoms to access and pursue knowledge. ⁠

Slide with a teal background. Copy reads: Dr. Hayden has been a trailblazer, bringing new energy, joy, and perspective to the esteemed role. She was the first woman and the first African American to serve in the role. In the time she has served, she has been markedly respected for her impartial effectiveness and for opening the Library’s resources to all Americans.⁠

Slide with a team background. Copy reads: Now, Dr. Hayden becomes the first Librarian of Congress to be forced out since the 19th century for no other reason than to undermine the foundational principles of our democracy and erode public trust in our most robust institutions.⁠

This book was printed in 1973.

"The old-time values of America--freedom, dignity, brotherhood--are great, but the present-day style of America--materialism, unrestrained development, bigotry--makes it a hard place to stomach"
