Celebrating Black Women Authors!


 
The perseverance and talent that Maya Angelou, Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and many other Black women authors had helped pave the way for current authors to breathe life into their books’ characters, such as “The girl with the louding voice,” by Abi Dare, and “White teeth : a novel,” by Zadi Smith.As Toni Morison said so wonderfully, “If you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else.” Come to the Learning Commons and Library to browse a few works of these inspiring authors or visit our displays virtually at go.hawaii.edu/Pnr!
