Book Banning, Inclusion, and Representation- Why Stories Matter

Listen to Foundation 451 founder Adam Byrn Tritt speak on why books are so important to our society and our youth.


mission statement

The mission of Foundation 451 is to get banned and challenged books directly into the hands of students, and to heighten awareness of the need for a plurality of ideas—especially in the arts and literature—to build a society that truly honors freedom, justice, and inclusivity. We want all young people, especially those who have felt marginalized, to be seen, heard, and represented.
