Day # 21 Toni Morrison was an novelist, essayist, book editor, and a college professor. Her novels were critically acclaimed and brought her national attention. Morrison won the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Pulitzer Prize as well as the Nobel Prize in Literature. Morrison was one of the rare American authors whose books were both critical and commercial successes. Her novels appeared regularly on the New York Times best-seller list, and were featured multiple times on the Oprah Winfrey’s television book club and were the subject of myriad critical studies. A longtime faculty member at Princeton, Ms. Morrison lectured widely and was seen often on television. Her stories usually identified and spoke on the narrative and experiences of the Black community; more specifically Black Women. Her narratives mingle the voices of men, women, children and even ghosts in layered polyphony. Myth, magic and superstition are inextricably intertwined with everyday word she weaves in her Literature. Morrison was once asked how they can live up to their potential and Morrison so eloquently stated that "If you wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down." #BHMChallenge2020 #blackhistorymonth #blackpower #blackexcellence #staywoke #blackandproud #blackisbeautiful #Legend #tonimorrison #beloved #thebluesteye #songofsolomon #nobelpeaceprize #Nationalbookcritics #Circleaward #PulitzerPrize (at Lorain, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B81QX4OHM52/?igshid=1tcrm1pvvqzyk
