We all know Toni Morrison for her literary classics such as "Beloved", but even before her Nobel prize, Morrison was an editor at Random House, championing black voices like Angela Davis and Muhammad Ali. Morrison didn't just edit books–she made sure black stories hit the shelves, and for that we thank her. #ToniMorrison #LiteraryLegends #BlackVoices #NobelPrize #BookEditor #LiteraryChampions #BlackAuthors #BlackHistory #CulturalImpact #LiteratureMatters #EditorialFreelancers #EFA #EditorialFreelancersAssociation #FreelancerLife #Editing #EditorialWork #BlackHistoryMonth #EditorsofInstagram
