“Writing is really a way of
thinking--not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate,
unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet.”—Toni Morrison
Black History is much more than a month and
is reflective of us all each and every day.
None told this story better than Morrison, born in Ohio in Feb., 1931. As a novelist, editor and professor she
shaped literature with the power of her epic themes, vivid dialogue and richly
detailed characters.
We will forever be in her debt for giving us such
wonderful books as The Bluest Eye, Song
of Solomon and Beloved.
Toni
Morrison
She was presented with the Presidential Medal of
Freedom in 2012 capping a writing life that also included the Pulitzer Prize, American Book Award, Nobel Prize for her life’s body of work. Her craftsmanship inspires writers to reach deeper within
themselves in hopes of emulating even a small part of what she achieved on the
page.
