VOICE OF LITERATURE
An epic tale spanning forty years in the life of Celie (Whoopi
Goldberg), an African-American woman living in the South who
survives incredible abuse and bigotry.''
"The Color Purple," by Alice Walker, the book has been
frequently challenged and banned for what has been termed
"sexual and social explicitness." The novel involves sexual
assault and abuse.''
With the given information, I think that this book doesn't deserve
to be banned. Everyone has a story and back in those times it
wasn't spoken about enough. The sad truth of some young women
is enduring the very things that this book holds. It may be
inappropriate, but it should never be banned for expressing the
life of a young girl and her hardships. This is also relative content
to the readers who may have been through this as well.
