Poet Sonia Sanchez said of her friend Toni Morrison, “In order to survive, you should re-read Toni every ten years because every ten or 15 years, we have to re-imagine ourselves on this American landscape. You won’t survive if you don’t do that.” We believe now is the time. Join us on a year-long journey through Toni Morrison’s remarkable literary legacy.

Join the conversation on Sunday, May 17th at 2pm as we discuss, “Beloved.”

About Beloved:

Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. Sethe has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved.
