In commemoration of Dr. Carter G. Woodson’s vision to always remember our ancestors, The Black Reality Think Tank radio program welcomes author and literary consultant Ms. Heddy Keith to our broadcast as we discuss the life and work of Dr. Toni Morrison.
Chloe Anthony Wofford Morrison (born Chloe Ardelia Wofford; (February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019), known as Toni Morrison, was an American novelist, essayist, book editor, and college professor. Her first novel, The Bluest Eye, was published in 1970. The critically acclaimed Song of Solomon (1977) brought her national attention and won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 1988, Morrison won the Pulitzer Prize for Beloved (1987); she gained worldwide recognition when she was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993.
Our guest and community panel will discuss how Dr. Morrison used fiction to highlight the historical journey of African people in America.
Dr. William Rogers is the host.

Why are most Black Church congregations, female? Where are the brothers?
According to Leon Podles, the origins of the problem go back much farther than most people suspect. Author of The Church Impotent: The Feminization of Christianity (1999), Podles theorizes that religion has lost some important traits that, if regained, would give men much more to identify with and would perhaps precipitate their return.
The discussion tonight (8/27/19) at 8 pm eastern time on The Black Reality Think Tank. Host Dr. William Rogers and Co-host Ms. Bonissiwa Ayan.
