Toni Morrison MA ’55 has been nominated for the 2020 class of the National Women’s Hall of Fame. She graduated from Cornell’s grad school in 1955.
Here, The Sun collected responses to Morrison’s influence, featuring statements by former President Barack Obama, professors who worked with her and the students who studied Morrison’s work in Goldwin Smith Hall — where she, too, studied over sixty years ago.
One of Cornell’s most prominent alumnae, Toni Morrison M.A. ’55, died on Monday night, a friend confirmed to the Associated Press. Morrison was a prize-winning author who penned eleven books, including Beloved and The Bluest Eye.
