"TONI MORRISON: SITES OF MEMORY" IS ON DISPLAY IN THE ELLEN AND LEONARD MILBERG GALLERY INSIDE THE FIRESTONE LIBRARY NOW THROUGH JUNE 4.
Toni Morrison is one of the most prolific writers that our nation has ever known. The Nobel laureate, who in 1993 became the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, has forever transformed the literary sphere. Morrison’s body of work is robust—authoring 11 novels in addition to non-fiction works, children’s books, short stories and plays—but her influence is unquantifiable.
