Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, best known for Beloved, passed away this week at the age of 88. Although she was not a genre writer, she was one of the giants of the American literary scene. She did more than anyone else to bring the black experience in America to light...and much to assist and mentor young black writers.
In a world where black voices still often struggle to be heard, it's worth honoring one who was, and who did her best to pass it on to others.
