On Pointe Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I had the honor of meeting Toni Morrison, who was a close friend of a relative of mine. She was a charming, down-to-earth, warm and witty person, who wore her honors and accolades lightly. Hard to believe that she was eighty-eight as she was so young in spirit and outlook. May she rest in well-deserved peace after a life well lived. Link to comment

dirac Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Former president Obama posted a nice picture from Morrison's Medal of Freedom ceremony. Quote Obama is also a long-time admirer of Toni Morrison, and in 2012, he bestowed upon her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. At the ceremony, Obama spoke about Morrison's grit as a single mother who carved out time to write 11 beloved novels. "Circumstances may not have been ideal, but the words that came out were magical," he said. RIP. Link to comment
