Cod-liver oil? Yes—rubbed on Black skin in the 1940s not for luxury, but because poverty turns medicine into moisturizer. Morrison’s world knew that smell. #BluestEye #BlackMaterialLife

"The Bluest Eye" by Toni Morrison keeps getting challenged. Are we really still trying to silence one of America's greatest authors? 📚 #ToniMorrison #BluestEye #BannedBooks #LiteraryClassics #BlackAuthors #ReadersUnite #LibraryFreedom

"Beloved" "The Bluest Eye" & "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison

Toni Morrison was a force to be reckoned with. I love how she wrote characters and I love how she crafted stories. Also, the fact that she didn't write her first novel until the age of 40 shows that success comes when it comes. #ToniMorrison #BluestEye #Beloved #SongofSolomon #BookSky💙📚

Happy Birthday #ToniMorrison the writer who allowed me to find myself & kin in text during elementary days. I stole #bluesteye I bought five more when I was able. Every time I open #Sula I am grounded.
