The trivia that was removed included President Brown's speaking for the American Library Association's endorsement of the Black Caucus of the American Library Associaton "Statement Condemning Increased Violence and Racism Towards Black Americans and People of Color". Her support for this statement is not trivia.
As President of the Amerian Library Association Wanda Kay Brown's public statements are historic for librarians at this time in U.S. history. Please reconsider and explain why "Statement Condemning Increased Violence and Racism Towards Black Americans and People of Color" is removed as "trivia."Kmccook (talk) 12:46, 4 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
I know direct quotes are not usually added but I really liked her word in LJ: “My vision for libraries is that we remain at the heart of the communities we serve, connecting people with ideas, resources, and support. We are an essential link to developing and sustaining informed and well educated communities,” Brown told LJ in a Q&A as the polls opened in March. “We are social hubs where great minds come together. We are constantly evolving as our users and their needs change. I embrace the challenge of defining our next phase. " Kmccook (talk) 15:12, 10 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
