Toni Morrison on A Mercy - The John Adams Institute

* Take note: audio is much better when played with a Bluetooth device.
On May 20, 2009, The John Adams Institute hosted an evening with Toni Morrison. One of the most important American writers of her generation took the John Adams Institute stage for the first time. Toni Morrison-as renowned for her magical realism as for her portrayal of the African American struggle-is that rare writer who is acclaimed by critics and adored by the reading public. In her latest novel, A Mercy, a mother gives away her daughter as she struggles for a better life, and the reader unravels the meaning behind seemingly cruel acts. Join us for an evening with this distinguished writer of whom the Nobel Prize committee wrote: “…in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, she gives life to an essential aspect of American reality.

How lovely to see her from what appears to be less than a year ago

[@kennethlgabriel]

They published this on October 10 of 2018. However, the event occurred on May 20, 2009. Oh, how I wish this was just last year!

[@weemeemoo]

@@kennethlgabriel Oh, thanks for clearing that up!

You have to listen to this with bluetooth or the sound will be horrible.

[@theresas.2563]

Fix the audio. Can't understand a word. What a shame!

[@direfranchement]

Audio here is terrible.

[@kentquinn7271]

Is it possible you can repost it with better sound? Unfortunately, it is inaudible.

For now, this is all we've got...

Kent Quinn - Trying connect your decive to a Bluetooth device. I was listening to the video in my car's Bluetooth. Audio was fine. Though when I disconnected and listened to it on my phone audio was very sporadic.
