The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck is among the top 100 books banned
in America. The reason is in one of many passages. This is from chapter 25:
“There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow
here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all
our successes. The fertile Earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks,
and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of hunger must die because
a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the
certificates – died of malnutrition – because the food must rot (if not sold
at a profit)…. and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath.
In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy,
growing heavy for the vintage.”

Land acknowledgments meant to honor Indigenous people too often do the opposite, erasing American Indians and sanitizing history instead: Land acknowledgments state that activities are taking place on land previously owned by Indigenous peoples.
