Tuesday, March 2, marks National Read Across America Day, which also coincides with famous children’s author Dr. Seuss’ birthday.
However, 2021 marks a somewhat historic year for the legacy of the acclaimed author, whose real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel. As schools across America highlight the value of literacy, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business tasked with preserving and protecting the author’s legacy, announced that six of his early works will no longer be published due to "hurtful and wrong" depictions of other races. As the works of Dr. Seuss are recontextualized for a modern era, it’s worth taking a look back at who the enigmatic children’s author was, and how he got his start and became the beloved and wacky mind behind some of the most famous stories from Americans' childhoods.More Related News
