Abstract

The article focuses on the removal of a children's book about Roberto Clemente, a revered baseball legend, from school library shelves in Duval County, Florida. It discusses how this removal is part of a larger problem in Florida, where educators and librarians are afraid of felony charges if a child picks up the wrong book. It also discusses how Clemente was a trailblazer and hero who stood up for his people, his language, and his culture and fought against racism and Latin American dictators.
