When the Great Depression hits Oklahoma in the 1930s, the Joad family finds itself with a worthless farm, no money, and no way to make a better life for themselves. So they strike out for California, hoping to find new jobs and new lives, but discover that the promised American Dream isn’t so easily attainable. First banned in California the year that it was published (Banned Books Week), “The Grapes of Wrath” has continued to be banned far and wide for profanity, sexual references, and accusations of propaganda.
