Once Morrison’s work opened my eyes, I began noticing how frequently people tried to make me prioritize either race or gender whenever things got intense. When I encountered Morrison’s debut novel, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, I was at a point in my life where I had reluctantly admitted to myself that race would always matter, but I had not awakened to how gender was shaping my experiences. Okay, maybe it’s not that simple, but it’s pretty close. I am a literature professor because when I was 18 years old and in my first year of college, I read Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye.
