Black Literature has had many challenges, with renewed assaults on its productions. As knowledge produced by African and African Diaspora intellectuals and artists is being debated, legislated, and litigated—reminding us of the dark Nazi period of banning and burning books—Required Reading calls for a return to Memory land where what they ban becomes required.
