African American literature

Toni Morrison was an African American author who began her career when she started writing fiction with some of her peers who went to Howard University. She wrote a short story that helped her to win a Nobel Prize which was entitled The Bluest Eye. This story has become so popular that it was even a selection for Oprah's Book Club, an honor reserved only for the best stories and novels.

One of the great things about Toni Morrison that many people don't know is that she used the popularity that she gained in order to help other struggling African American writers to get noticed. This was a great thing for her to do simply because time has shown us that it is not easy for African American writers to get the notice and respect that they deserve. The truth is that black authors have a great deal to give the literary world and it is all thanks to authors like Toni Morrison that they are noticed today.
