Toni Morrison (February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019) was a Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author known for her powerful and poetic storytelling that centered on Black identity, history, and womanhood. Born in Lorain, Ohio, she began her career as an editor before publishing her first novel, The Bluest Eye (1970). Her later works, including Song of Solomon (1977) and Beloved (1987), cemented her as one of the most influential voices in American literature. Morrison became the first Black woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993. Through her novels, essays, and public lectures, she reshaped how race, memory, and culture are represented in literature, leaving an enduring legacy.
