RuPaul’s Rainbow Book Bus is embarking on a mission to defy book bans and promote diversity in literature. Led by RuPaul, the initiative aims to distribute banned books, particularly those by underrepresented authors such as LGBTQ individuals and people of color, in the face of increasing restrictions on educational texts across the country. The vibrant, 22-foot bus adorned with rainbow colors and portraits of Black queer icons will journey from the West Coast to the South, offering free reading material and fostering inclusivity through a curated monthly book club featuring themed playlists and author interviews.
