[@meredithmacdonald4996]

I love her.She is the smartest person, I believe, who has been alive in my lifetime. When she speaks, she's hypnotizing, also. Her books have changed my life. I'm not black, maybe I wasn't who she intended her stories for, I just feel honored to have been able to read her thoughts on paper.

[@itspossible3381]

Thank you for sharing this. This really encouraged me in a special way.

[@user-mk9hv8sl5p]

Black here. read Austen and Woolf and i know i wasnt the intended audience and was still able to take away from their works. It happens all the time

[@happygucci5094]

Don’t be ridiculous! Of course you were/areher intended audience. We are human beings- she writes from a specific location sure- but ALL artists do. She is The American novelist. Her work is sublime,intellectual philosophical… Spiritual. She is the Great Mother of American letters.

[@miadrummergirl1]

Her hair and voice! 🔥🔥🔥

I am blessed to grow up in a time that women of such substance and intelligence were common. this is what we meant when we sais that black is beautiful. My sistas are all that!

Just close your eyes and listen. Is there anyone who ever sounded this glorious?

[@juancarlosvasquezgarcia6134]

Whoever disliked this video doesn't understand how brilliant this piece is. Toni Morrison is everything.

[@tumadre1388]

nah

[@petebrowne9918]

Hate doesn't always have to initiate from misunderstanding; it can actually be prompted by someone's insecurity, jealousy and knowledge that this woman has a sense of self in all of her being black. And they just may not like that

[@Joan1able]

That smile omg just gorgeous

[@galaxylucia1898]

She is so beautiful...

[@patricebrown777]

Enigmatic depth of Toni is surreal. Stirs one's soul. Truly beautiful

[@manonjuliette1725]

Shout out this interviewer who doesn’t interrup his guest

[@acajudi100]

I have written and recorded my journals from age 15 to almost 77.

[@sheilamutaramuka5400]

Noooo way. That's beautiful

[@shakeyraware1563]

That's amazing I want a journal to write down my thoughts

[@beresbailey1790]

Her voice reminds me of Randy Crawfords' voice so soothing and calming. She can andulate her voice without raising it, she narrates, expounds,explains, elaborates without a hitch or any vocal crutches. Which in itself is remarkable.

[@adileleorne]

Her voice is everything, man!

[@wolfgangvonuce9615]

This woman aged like a fine wine!

[@merryquantagency2731]

I miss her! She will always be remembered as one of the best writers America has produced!

[@sibanisengupta8680]

Toni & I are both Taurus risings! Sensual, kind, alluring, and well-spoken. Such a beauty inside and out.😍❤️

Same!!!!!

[@enchantresse23]

She was so amazing ✨😌

[@octoberflower6943]

I love her so much!! If I had the abilities she is blessed with, I can imagine my ability for writing. Shes the goat of the Black Literacy sphere!!

[@yateswebb]

man that Odyssey comment shook me. I remember having the same reaction in 8th grade. Wow.

[@lifestylecoach1869]

As a white women she has taught me so much of how to be a real friend to my sisters of color, to listen to them and their fears they had different fears than myself and its important we know the difference- it brings cooperation between us. I was 14 years old when I was first introduced to her writings as I was attending school in Oakland CA - been in love since...

[@JefersonSantos-bt1ef]

[@zionsdaughter3954]

Incredibly intellectual!

[@fionabzexpress2059]

The last 5 minutes of this video are also amazing! Who did this collage? Unbelievable how these modernist, avant-garde and surreal paintings come together very well in this manner. Image of a century, its intellectual streamings, and people are given through this.

Mother love me keep me warm Mother loves me, keeps me warm, nurtures me, cares for me, and calms me through the storm. To help me mother, help your baby to be strong, nothing more. No Money, is A Mercy, can The Bluest Eye find a Rainbow a Home? For Frank and his Sister here's a poem. I love you, Mother, I thank you everyday, love me, keep me warm, nurture me, care for me, show me what is right and wrong. Your love has kept me, in the light, words that make a man cave bright. And when I go to her at night, she rocks me in my cradle, so I sleep tight. I love you Mother. I Thank you everyday. Mother loves me, keeps me warm, nurtures me, cares for me, and calms me through the storm. To help me Mother, help your baby, to be strong, nothing more. Thank you Toni, for I've been torn, and my mother left me in the storm. By Eddie Campagnola Edward Campagnola, "Directions to the Dumpster" & Pen name "One Directions to Mercy Street"

46 isn’t young, but it seems like Toni didn’t really get started until she reached middle aged.

[@ayo.mbali_]

It is young considering she lived to 88

0:46 but why? 1:04 ah I see, because of reality🥰🥰
