- Toni Morrison exists in two worlds: the visible world, bustling around her, and the world of her novels, whose characters tell about an interior reality hidden from the eyes of strangers. In her work, Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison has transported millions of readers into the experience of being black in America and confronting the realities of race. In this program, Morrison discusses the characters in her work, the people in her life, the power of love, and how the invented world of fiction connects to life.

Toni had the ability to make words dance. How she carefully chooses each word in both her work and in conversation is so inspiring to me. Strong, yet delicate. A force of light. She's the reason that I am a writer today.
Her description of motherhood, selfhood, and liberation is absolutely breathtaking.
One of the greatest writers to ever walk the Earth. PERIODT.
I don’t how I can miss someone I never met, but here I am. Though I never met her, we knew each other. Everything she wrote was a love letter to me. And each word of hers I read was a thank you to her. I hope you’re having a ball in paradise, Ms. Morrison.

this is beautiful.
🥺🥲💙💛
Just beautiful sweetie just beautiful ❤️
So sweet 💓
She is sooooooo inspiring. I love her.
I’m so grateful that she left such an imprint on the world.
me too
0:55. I love the way she looks at the diploma she receives. She looks satisfied, proud. It’s a moment between herself and the diploma in hand. No one else is around.
I miss her terribly.
And also the quality of interviewers like Bill Moyers.
"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." - Toni Morrison
😰 ....man if this isn't motivation
When she started talking about REAL STUFF .. “let’s talk about love” and how she pivoted. BRILLIANT WOMAN!!!
I love how deeply she thinks about life and the nuances of it 💕🇰🇪
Thank you for keeping her alive here
Crazy, how some notable figures have to die to become even more famous. I heard her name plenty, but her death got me to dig in deeper in her greatness.
I could listen to her speak all day !

So wise. Her voice soothes you. Extraordinarily writer and very much missed. ❤
Everything she says is so powerful.
Wow the liberation of motherhood brought me to tears. What an icon.
"But that's a totally generous free womyn. Fearless. She's not afraid of anything. . . and complete clarity about who she is". Swoons. Pilate is one of my favorite characters.
Song of Solomon is my favorite book of ALL time. Pilate is otherworldly - remember she has no navel. She wasn't born or birthed...she WAS!!!

Nothing better than this, Toni you always teach me something!! 🙌🙌🙌💕💕💕
The interviewer has so positive vibes and huge appreciation of Toni Morrison's work.
Ah yesss. I can tell he has deep appreciation for her work, curiosity about her characters and his awe of Toni Morrison is palpable. Great interviewer.
She’s so brilliant
Finished the glorious book "The Bluest Eye" a couple of minutes ago and my mind needed to find out more about this exquisite author!
Oh God. My heart is so full listening to her utter every single word with so much force. What I would give to listen to her speak live. What inspiring aura and view of the world.
Ah, this has resurfaced! Thank You.
A brilliant, gifted and thoughtful woman!
Everything that Toni Morrison says is profound and worthy of reflection. We could spend a decade simply discussing this 43:44
Deep and amazing thoughts!
This was very much needed. Powerful 🌹
Insightful and full of depth!
I have never seen you... Don't know you, but I watched a program about your handwork. I come to love you despite the fact that you are no longer there 😢RIP ❤
An amazing interview
What a phenomenal interview
I just love so much because of how her writing affected me. My favorite of her books is The Song of Solomon. I've read it so many times. So grateful to Toni Morrison for being here.
This was sooooo well done. So well done. She is. She just is.
Toni Morrison is Amazing!! i
This was wonderful.

At first I thought the interviewer talked too much and was more interested in his own voice/opinions. But then as I continued listening, I could clearly see how well-read he was and his genuine interests in Prof. Morrison's works.
IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY, YOU SHOULD WATCH THE INTIMATE INTERVIEW HE HAS WITH THE LATE GREAT "MAYA ANGELOU"......🤔🙂
Apart from him saying Sethe killed her son- it was her baby girl that she murdered.
I swear I could listen to this woman talk for hours lol

08:40 'the master narrative' 😔
'deep psychic struggle to see and not see one another' 👍
'racism is not a fixed star' 👍 👏 👏 👏
I love Tar Baby. Son is my fave character.
That book was like a gothic New World settler colonial nightmare. It ripped me to shreds. All of them did. Yet she manages to place that soothing arm around my soul that somehow I became stronger, wiser, more gratitude after being destroyed… She is THE American Novelist. The breadth of her vision is extraordinary. Sublime.
We need a cite
❤❤❤
Here is to you.

who is the name of the guy interviewing her
Bill Moyers
Bill Moyers! Redd. ⚡️🦊
You have already being bought and paid for. Your ancestors gave it up for you. It's already done. You don't have to do that anymore. Now you can love yourself.
I wouldn’t describe Pecola as pathetic 🙄 he irritates me.
Exactly
He's ironically perceiving her as such because of the "master narrative" that Toni Morrison is talking about
He said “pathetic creature”
Okay, so boom, ten months in, how _would_ you describe her?
Geo Cyo a victim of circumstance and an unwilling participant in a society that was prune to anti-blackness, mostly in her own community do to the propaganda of unattainable, basic, boring ass beauty standards that no one should be striving for, especially young black girls!
Looking at the author I wonder if the depiction of the character matches the stereotypical trope and to what degree
7:09
Gosh another video I mistook for being from Oprah...the network, I mean. Oh the humanity!
So frustrating when the interviewer talks over her
I want to understand the 16 people who didn't rate this truly wise human being....but how.And would it be a waste of my precious time.
one learns very quickly what to belong to 41:01
5:41 i didnt ask to be born
7:12 gallant event
Don't love anything ... 💔
To the contrary, she says that is the cry of hopelessness. People are starving for love. "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Love can lead to pain, but true love is the most powerful force in the universe. The Bible says, "God is love." My mathematical bent requires me to point out that when the verb "to be" is used like that, it can be thought of as an equal sign!
Would Toni Morrison have thought, "Oh, no. Another white man interviewing me?" I have to interview minority people as part of their profession, and I feel quite bad about it. And I'm white and middle aged and male.
i think you have to address the guilt, and replace it with openness and acceptance to genuinely walk in the shoes of someone else. i don't want to speak for Toni Morrison, but i am a black woman and a poet as well. In interviews, i care more that the interviewer is genuinely interested in my work, open, a good listener and asks good questions. Essentially, that my perspective does not make the interlocutor uncomfortable; rather, it adds meaning, context and substance to the conversation, as per intended.
“Racism is older than slavery”, not older than RACE slavery which is what the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade is, to be clear.
Yes it is because anti blackness is epistemic it transcends time. It about a universal thought process. Everyone (by group), everywhere, all around the world, carries is anti-black ideology. People in Korea bleach there skin because being darker in skin meant you were a field worker and of lesser social status. There reasons are detached from the trans-Atlantic slave trade but the the colorism still follows the rule. To be of lighter complexion, means you’re beautiful, wealthy of greater social status. So racism in its essence is older than race based slavery that’s simply derived from that ideology.
I think we forget the one who brought and paid for us first was Jesus. He died first, gave everything and through that we know we are truly loved. He created and bought us so we are doubly His
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."- Isaiah 53:5. God bless you all and guide you in everything
It is true that Jesus paid the ultimate price to buy us, but unfortunately many who claim his name had no trouble with the idea of owning others and treating them accordingly. Thankfully there were some who did their best to treat their slaves like family, which, in Christ, is the case.
Free your mind. We don’t need anyone between us and God. Especially not a man depicted and burned into Black minds as a White man. Free your mind. On on one with the Creator is your birthright. Ase’
Shes beautiful
why u cut her off at the end?
