For Black History Month @TLM is highlighting Octavia Butler, an incredible visionary. A Black author of science-fiction, Octavia Butler challenged the genre that has historically been written by white men. 
Butler opened up readers to alternate futures, challenged both gender and racial stereotypes, and reshaped the genre of science fiction.
The TLM employee who was inspired by Octavia Butler’s work shared, “Butler's books are great as imaginative, futuristic worlds that make insightful connections to our own, in particular with regards to systems of oppression, and resistance to them.”
