Poet Sonia Sanchez said of her friend Toni Morrison, “In order to survive, you should re-read Toni every ten years because every ten or 15 years, we have to re-imagine ourselves on this American landscape. You won’t survive if you don’t do that.” We believe now is the time. Join us on a year-long journey through Toni Morrison’s remarkable literary legacy.

Join the conversation on Sunday, June 21st at 2pm as we discuss, “Jazz.”

About Jazz:

In the winter of 1926, when everybody everywhere sees nothing but good things ahead, Joe Trace, middle-aged door-to-door salesman of Cleopatra beauty products, shoots his teenage lover to death. At the funeral, Joe’s wife, Violet, attacks the girl’s corpse.
