Search Toni Morrison Toni Morrison, the first black woman to receive Nobel Prize in Literature, was born Chloe Anthony Wofford on February 18, 1931 in Lorain, Ohio, U.S.A. She was the second of four children of George Wofford, a shipyard welder and Ramah Willis Wofford. Her parents moved to Ohio from the South to escape racism and to find better opportunities in the North. Her father was a hardworking and dignified man. While the children were growing up, he worked three jobs at the same time for almost 17 years. He took a great deal of pride in the quality of his work, so that each time he welded a perfect seam he'd also weld his name onto the side of the ship. He also made sure to be well-dressed, even during the Depression. Her mother was a church-going woman and she sang in the choir. At home, Chloe heard many songs and tales of Southern black folklore. The Woffords were proud of their heritage. Lorain was a small industrial town populated with immigrant Europeans, Mexicans and Southern blacks who lived next to each other. Chloe attended an integrated school. In her first grade, she was the only black student in her class and the only one who could read. She was friends with many of her white schoolmates and did not encounter discrimination until she started dating. She hoped one day to become a dancer like her favorite ballerina, Maria Tallchief, and she also loved to read. Her early favorites were the Russian writers Tolstoy and Dostoyevski, French author Gustave Flaubert and English novelist Jane Austen. She was an excellent student and she graduated with honors from Lorain High School in 1949.

    Extractions: BNET Log In Join Search Award-winning Author Talks About the Future From Some Place in Time Washington The past can be a comfortable and happy place to escape. But Nobel Prize-winning author and professor Toni Morrison warned an army of admirers not to linger there long. "What is infinite, it appears, what is always imaginable, always subject to analysis, adventure and creation is past time," said Morrison, who delivered the annual Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The lectureship, which carries an honorarium of $10,000, is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities. "Time, it seems, has no future," Morrison said. "That is, time no longer seems to be an endless stream through which the human species moves with confidence in its own increasing breadth or sweep or even the fascination of its past. ... Twenty or 40 years into the 21st century appears to be all there is of the `real time' available to our imagination," said Morrison, whose 70-minute journey through time and back forced a packed audience at times to laugh with abandon and at other times to wince and murmur under the weight of gloomy discourse.

25. TONI MORRISON
    Time Magazine interview with author Toni Morrison about her Pulitzer Prize winning novel Beloved, and the inequities that blacks and women still face in American society.  
    http://www.time.com/time/community/pulitzerinterview.html
    
    Extractions: Q. In your contemporary novels you portray harsh confrontation between black and white. In Tar Baby a character says, ''White folks and black folks should not sit down and eat together or do any of those personal things in life.'' It seems hopeless if we can't bridge the abysses you see between sexes, classes, races. A. I feel personally sorrowful about black-white relations a lot of the time because black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war, to prevent other kinds of real conflagrations. If there were no black people here in this country, it would have been Balkanized. The immigrants would have torn each other's throats out, as they have done everywhere else. But in becoming an American, from Europe, what one has in common with that other immigrant is contempt for me it's nothing else but color. Wherever they were from, they would stand together. They could all say, ''I am not that.'' So in that sense, becoming an American is based on an attitude: an exclusion of me.
