February 24, 2020 Black History Month and Toni Morrison's Influence in my Life
Welcome back to another episode of The Locals Podcast! Today I recorded a special Black History Month Episode that featured author Toni Morrison. Being an English major I have grown an even bigger appreciation for Black literature and the influences Morrison, in particular has had in my life. I take time to reflect on how "Black History is American History" within this weeks episode. I hope enjoy this special episode I curated.
