Mississippi will host its first ever Banned Books Festival on March 25 in response to school districts removing scores of library books that have yet to be “approved.” Writers Kiese Laymon and Jesmyn Ward will discuss their writing and its relationship with censorship in conversation with fellow writer W. Ralph Eubanks.
