This new documentary traces the rise of the best selling author hewletts or a Nobel Prize Winner and force of nature Toni Morrison. Before becoming a writer made her way up the male dominated world of new york publishing always fearless she soon realized that she not any of the old white guys was the smartest person in the room. I was more interesting than the critics damn her 1st novels with faint praise and condescension them early reviews says shes got a great talent one day she limited to only writing about black people like really its limiting her to write about black people who are going to be labeled a black writer i prefer that you broke the rule but im tired of people asking the grist. For the. Oprah winfreys book club to make more sense a household name her novels became bestsellers and 1907 a masterpiece beloved won the Pulitzer Prize the tale about the lasting trauma of slavery was turned into a film produced by and starring Oprah Winfrey sadly film critics didnt know how to handle morrisons story of an escaped slave who kills her daughter rather than let her be recaptured even more some said she was shocked when she got the call saying shed won the nobel prize for literature and i remember holding focus she must think of. Toni morrisons work shows to pay all the myriad ways we can come to love that is what she did was the words on the page. Toni morrison the pieces i am is a personal powerful portrait of an artist who changed the canon. And my colleague scott rockstro has joined me in the studio to tell us more about the piece is i am welcome scott how did this film resonate with you and what did we learn about about 20 or so all i think you learn a lot about her as a person its all just a lot about her work but so much of this is a is an interview with Toni Morrison and it was really fascinating for me to see about her life as a single mom about the struggle she had to make it 1st the Publishing Industry and fighting against chauvinist editors and critics and also to see this image of this incredibly strong selfassured a black woman whos also obviously having the time of her life so wonderful its very much about her personal journey but also very much about how she changed our view of literature full stop and its so interesting perhaps for the younger generations that so many of the issues she was banging the same drones 40 years ago that the need to movement is talking about today yeah very much so i mean a lot of the personal stories in the documentary are the stories of her fight for equal pay the stories of her fights against you know the the male dominated world situation i was moving in racial segregation and so forth and its its really compelling i think its interesting that the new generation the young generation of women in particular are discovering Toni Morrison as a sort of feminist icon watches dont have to think how theres other these sort of 80 plus year old women who are being celebrated as sort of pop icons i mean i had to think of the roots. Peter ginsberg and dr Ruth Westheimer both of whom have their own documentaries new documentaries that are just made of something. Ruth Bader Ginsburg course. Justice on the Supreme Court but and the documentary about her called r g b is is also about her image as a as a pop icon because shes become to known as the notorious r g r b g and as been the start thousands of internet means but my personal favorite is the other tiny ruth dr Ruth Westheimer jewish german immigrant whos been teaching america about sex for a generation still going strong. Im sure you dont like her and shes a you know shes the pioneer of of liberalism of these these feminist movements and i think its amazing that these 80 plus year old women are become sort of pop stars for younger gen and thank goodness that credit is coming where credit is due to they did so much ground work but you know were talking about. Margaret atwood canadas literary icon has to be kind of included i would do you out in the you in that in that count i know shes 79 i think but yeah i mean shes almost the beyond say of the feminist literature in my opinion and and shes going to be big feminist name of course because with her book them and sale which is adapted as a t. V. Series the images from which you know the long red cloak the little white bonnet that has been used as the mima protest against the patriarchy worldwide we saw it in recently in the protests against the point of brown kind of kavanagh to be a Supreme Court court and you saw the women coming out in this outfit and its become so iconic its really seen now around the world any time women particularly young women want to protest against injustice or against sexism against racism they use this image and i think its amazing that that is created by a 79 year old woman who started this battle way back where they were born someone like Gloria Steinem comes to my mind i think theyre making a new film about you know let me go forward your thinking to you about that when the time comes Toni Morrisons the piece is i am i Timothy Greenfield Sanders is in the u. S. Theaters and thanks very much to scott roxboro for bringing us all that backstory and. Well i always like to remind people that early in our free spirited often grungy capital has more museums than paris more than 170 in fact and one of the reasons for that is the pressure Cultural Heritage foundation its massive collection stretches from the stone age all the way to contemporary art and while some of its stars like never t.
