In 1958 Garth Williams wrote and illustrated a book that caused a small uproar: The Rabbits' Wedding. The book was removed from general circulation in Alabama's state library system because of its perceived theme of interracial love. The story was about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit. 「Such miscegenation stated an editor in Orlando, was 『brainwashing . . . as soon as you pick up the book and open its pages you realize these rabbits are integrated.』 The Montgomery Home News [a publication of the segregationist White Citizens' Council] added that the book was integrationist propaganda obviously aimed at children in their formative years.」About the controversy, Williams stated, 「I was completely unaware that animals with white fur, such as white polar bears and white dogs and white rabbits, were considered blood relations of white beings. I was only aware that a white horse next to a black horse looks very picturesque.」 Williams said his story was not written for adults, who 「will not understand it, because it is only about a soft furry love and has no hidden message of hate.」
