Oprah Winfrey on Toni Morrison: 'She was our conscience. Our seer. Our truth-teller. She was a magician with language, who understood the Power of words. She used them to roil us, to wake us, to educate us and help us grapple with our deepest wounds...'
"In the beginning was the Word. Toni Morrison took the word and turned it into a Song...of Solomon, of Sula, Beloved, Mercy, Paradise Love, and more," Winfrey wrote."She was our conscience. Our seer. Our truth-teller," Winfrey continued."She was a magician with language, who understood the Power of words. She used them to roil us, to wake us, to educate us and help us grapple with our deepest wounds and try to comprehend them.
It is exhilarating and life-enhancing every time I read and share her work. This pic was her first appearance on the Oprah Show. She was Empress-Supreme among writers. Long may her WORDS reign! Morrison was author of seminal works of literature on the black experience such as"Beloved,""Song of Solomon" and"Sula" and was the first African-American woman to win a Nobel Prize.
