Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize Winner Poem by Saiom Shriver

Footnote:

You tell us that when Obama was inaugurated
you felt for the first time that you belonged in this
country.

You write in the book HOME
of African Americans in the 50's even in Lorain Ohio
with hurt hearts as like elsewhere in the country they were
denied access to restaurants, to
hotels, to pools, to parks, to restrooms,
to drinking fountains, to homes in certain neighborhoods....
citizens denied access to police protection.

Your words open hearts.
