Without question, Sula is one of the greatest stories I have ever read. This story changed the way I see the world, and it needed to be changed. I am grateful that Toni Morrison had the courage to write and kept writing. #bookfriendsarethebestkind pic.twitter.com/hOoo65ftcl

I just adored Toni Morrison, her eloquence, her grace, her absolute fierceness … her voice which articulated the pain and strength of black and brown women so beautifully. https://t.co/o2Q3mhKs6h
