Toni Morrison Tribute CANCELED

An evening of performances and conversations pays tribute to Library Lion, Trustee, and American icon Toni Morrison and the enduring power of her Pulitzer Prize–winning classic, Beloved.

Few books have inspired, moved, and changed readers more than Toni Morrison’s Beloved. To honor its creator—a Library Lion and Lifetime Trustee—an all-star lineup of writers, actors, and thinkers will return to Morrison’s indelible work with readings, performances, and conversations.

Nobel Prize–winning author Toni Morrison was hailed last year by Oprah Winfrey as “our conscience, she is our seer, she is our truth-teller.” Beloved, originally published in 1987, found Morrison at the height of her powers, “trying,” as she herself wrote, “to make the slave experience intimate…to render enslavement as a personal experience.” Whether you are discovering the story of Sethe, Denver, Beloved, and Paul D for the first time, or they live on in your well-worn copy of the book, join us in paying tribute to Morrison’s masterpiece.

Produced in partnership with the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
