Judy Blume describes latest wave of book bans and censorship

The new film "Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret," is shining a spotlight on Judy Blume, author of the original novel. Many of her books deal with issues of sexuality and adolescence rarely found elsewhere when Blume was writing. That brought contention, including bans, that are once again front and center. Jeffrey Brown discussed this with Blume for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
