Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee Mourns the Passing of Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison

Jackson Lee: “Toni Morrison taught many—and reintroduced many others—to the beauty of literature and language, and the African American experience. A deliberate public speaker, she galvanized listeners and readers to challenge mediocrity and embrace self-actualization. She instructed people that “[i]f there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it.” And, ever the citizen and participant in our American experiment in democracy, she reminded leaders that as they “enter positions of trust and power, dream a little before you think.” And, indeed, it was perhaps the testament of one of the greatest Americans to ever live who best encapsulated Toni Morrison’s work. The late great Maya Angelou, who preceded Toni Morrison in life and in death, and whose literary prowess is among the few to be considered in proper company alongside that of Toni Morrison, once said that Toni Morrison “didn’t write the English language, she composed it.”
