On August 5, 2019, the world lost a giant. Toni Morrison was not
only an author and essayist, she was an icon who changed the literary
and cultural world through her writing and editing. From confronting
our personal and collective past to imagining a new future, Morrison's
teachings go far beyond the words she wrote. On this MLK Day, we
discuss her legacy.
What did Toni Morrison teach you? Please join us (with your favorite
Morrison book in hand!) as we discuss her writing, her legacy, the
"canon", the state of Black - and American - literature, and the work
that is still left to be done.
