Social Change in the Twenty-First Century

About this book

Today's activists have more tools than ever before to help bring about change in society, whether they are fighting racial or religious discrimination, working for women's rights, or improving the lives of the LGBTQ community. Social Change in the Twenty-First Century examines how dedicated activists have advanced these struggles in recent years.

Censorship history

In 2024, "Social Change in the Twenty-First Century" by Bethany Bryan was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to its political content and themes related to social activism. Notably, in a school board meeting in Florida, parents expressed concerns about the book's portrayal of contemporary social issues, leading to a formal complaint that resulted in its removal from the curriculum. The ban has been upheld in some districts, while challenges to its censorship continue in others, reflecting ongoing debates over educational content and political discourse in schools.
