About this event
Garfield - Community Room. Free Event | No Registration Required Some revolutions are fought with words, and few Americans have wielded them with more force than Toni Morrison, a fitting focus for this month's Revolutionary Americans screening during Banned Books Week. This intimate documentary traces her journey from a steel-town childhood in Lorain, Ohio, to her towering literary career, weaving together art, history, and memory to explore race, identity, and the American story through her own fiction. Viewers get a front-row seat to unforgettable moments: Morrison touring with Muhammad Ali, standing alongside Angela Davis, and writing from her riverfront study, alongside candid reflections from the peers and critics who knew her work best. What does it mean to write a country's truth back to itself, even when that truth gets banned from shelves? Garfield Public Library 500 Midland Avenue Garfield, NJ 07026 973-478-3800
