In case you want to read it, one of the books they are burning seems to be "Life and Labor in the Old South" by Ulrich Bonnell Phillips [1].

Submitted because a news article portraying book burning in a positive light was very unexpected.

“Where one burns books, there one eventually burns people.” - Heinrich Heine, probably referring only to books that you like, so it does not apply in this case.

Too long; didn't watch.
