Remembering Toni Morrison: Her literary and spiritual legacy lives on

National Urban League President Marc H. Morial issued the following statement in response to the death of Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison:

“The world has lost an eloquent and singular voice of the African-American experience. Her work plumbed the psychic wounds of slavery and brought Black-centered stories into the mainstream. Her literary and spiritual legacy lives on. The Urban League Movement joins her family, friends and the nation in mourning this tremendous loss.”
