Toni Morrison

We would be remiss to overlook and not acknowledge the passing of our friend, Pulitzer Prize winner, Nobel Prize winner, American Book Award winner, Toni Morrison. She is a literary goddess and such an amazing woman. If you have not had the chance to read any of her books or to “youtube” her, please give yourself the gift of her work. She was a pillar of our community and has gone from this world.

“Toni Morrison was a national treasure, as good a storyteller, as captivating, in person as she was on the page. Her writing was a beautiful, meaningful challenge to our conscience and our moral imagination. What a gift to breathe the same air as her, if only for a while”

-Barack Obama

“If you surrender to the air, you could ride it.”

-Toni Morrison
