Description

In this episode of Our New South, Kevin Blackistone and Dr. Robert Greene II discuss the censorship of education in the South with Amanda Jones, a small-town, Louisiana librarian and self-proclaimed, "accidental activist," who became a nationally recognized figure due to her fight against censorship in Louisiana schools; and Robert Cassanello, a tenured professor of History at the University of Central Florida who took on the state of Florida in their fight against the teaching of critical race theory in state-funded schools.

Amanda Jones is the author of the national bestseller 'That Librarian: The Fight Against Book Banning in America', which is part memoir, part manifesto, the story of a small-town Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity.

Robert Cassanello, is an associate professor of history at the University of Central Florida. He is the author of To Render Invisible: Jim Crow and Public Life in New South Jacksonville. He has co-edited two books Florida's Working-Class Past: Current Perspectives on Labor, Race, and Gender from Spanish Florida to the New Immigration (with Melanie Shell-Weiss) and Migration and the Transformation of the Southern Workplace since 1945 (with Colin J. Davis). He produced film documentaries The Committee and Filthy Dreamers, and the public history podcast series A History of Central Floridathe Florida Historical Quarterly Podcast and The Art of the Review.
