Toni Morrison is pro Obama
By M&C News Jan 29, 2008, 10:30 GMT
The AP reports that Nobel winning writer Toni Morrison is endorsing Obama for President. The article notes that her reasoning has little to do with race but more to do with his “personal gifts”.
The article mentions that the author had written a letter to Obama where she stated, “Wisdom is a gift; you can't train for it, inherit it, learn it in a class, or earn it in the workplace — that access can foster the acquisition of knowledge, but not wisdom," the article notes.
Likewise, Obama has responded with nice words to the author and he mentioned that he was “deeply moved” by the support of their campaign.
