At the beginning of February, I was inspired by the words penned in support of Barack Obama's candidacy by Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison.

Several folks have asked if I would enlarge the type to make it easier for them to read. I hope this works for you. Email me if you would like a copy of the original letter.

3. Writers like Toni Morrison are good at coming up with those phrases

It's also why I support Barack.

4. Love Toni Morrison and long ago she used the word "fascism" in a public address ---

Lovely comments directed to Obama and I think they express the hopes of many of us who think
we are on this road with him.

Anyone know what the music is? Beautiful!

9. Thanks for this

Even though it's a little redundant since Toni Morrison's words are already like music, at least to my eyes.

This is not the first time you've posted something that has made a me smile a sad (poignant) little smile. Thanks so much for that.
