Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on stage at the National Book Festival with a quote in white font to the side of her on the graphic: "The banning of books speaks to the power of books. You do not ban a thing that does not have power."
Still thinking about what Chimamdani Ngozi Adichie said at this weekend's National Book Festival. #Truth
