This week we honor the #BlackLivesMatter movement by reading Toni Morrison's short story, "Sweetness." This story was featured in The New Yorker in February 2015. Reading books written by authors of color is one of the most important things we can do right now. If you don’t understand someone else’s perspective, you have the power - even the obligation - to learn. Read "Sweetness" online here: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/02/09/sweetness-2.
