Beneath the panelists’ names are six greyscale headshots of each author named. Underneath that is a brief summary of the panel from NCTE’s website: “For the last several years, far too many communities have experienced and endured unprecedented calls for book bans. But in recent months, the pendulum has started to swing in the other direction. When authors, educators, and community activists unite to preserve the right to access information and the truth, and to protect the rights of all children to read widely and diversely, we win.”
