One Of The Most Banned Books Of All Time – Mollie Godfrey

Here is the description for this video:

Explore why Maya Angelou’s memoir “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” became one of the most frequently banned books of all time.

In 1998, a school district removed one of American literature’s most acclaimed works from its curriculum.

Parents pushing for the ban said the book was both “sexually explicit” and “anti-white.”

The book at the center of this debate was Maya Angelou’s “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.”

Why was the memoir so controversial?

Mollie Godfrey digs into one of the most banned books of all time.

Lesson by Mollie Godfrey, directed by Laura White.

These existential questions are central to the five major world religions – and that’s not all that connects these faiths.

John Bellaimey explains the intertwined histories and cultures of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam.

Trace the history of the eugenics movement in the US, and discover how the belief in ideal genetics led to forced sterilizations. — Since Ancient Greece, humans have controlled populations via reproduction, retaining some traits and removing others. But in the 19th century, a new scientific movement dedicated to this endeavor emerged: eugenics. Scientists believed they could improve society by ensuring that only desirable traits were passed down. Alexandra Minna Stern and Natalie Lira detail the history of eugenics in the US.

Explore the model minority stereotype, and discover how it became a label for Asian Americans and is used to enforce racial hierarchies.

—

In 2007, researchers surveyed 180 teachers to understand if they held stereotypes about their students. The most commonly held opinion was that Asian students were significantly more industrious, intelligent, and gentle. This might seem like a good thing, but treating this stereotype as reality can cause a surprising amount of harm. Sheila Marie Orfano and Densho dig into the model minority myth.

Discover the phenomenon known as asymmetrical sleep, where parts of an animal’s brain are asleep while other areas remain active.

Many animals need sleep.

But all the threats and demands animals face don’t just go away when it’s time to doze.

That’s why a range of birds, mammals, and even humans experience some degree of asymmetrical sleep, where parts of the brain are asleep, and other areas are more active.

So, how does it work? Masako Tamaki explores how animals’ brains remain vigilant even at their most vulnerable.

Lesson by Masako Tamaki, directed by Biljana Labović.
