If
you still haven't made it over to the "Censored: Wielding
the Red Pen" exhibit at Alderman Library -- or even if you
have -- this Web site is an excellent companion. It includes sometimes
chilling examples of censorship from the library's own rare collections,
including rewritten scripts, banned books and even a 1924 letter
from the Virginia state registrar chastising a Lynchburg woman
for attempting to pass her child off as white.
