Toni Morrison was born in 1931 in Lorraine, Ohio. As a child she lived in an integrated neighborhood. As a result, despite the fact that she was a black female living in the 1930’s, she didn’t become aware of racism until she was a teenager. This came as something of a surprise to me, that in the 1930’s she could live through her entire childhood without ever having encountered racism. Perhaps it was a result of the naivety of youth. She simply didn’t notice the acts of discrimination that surrounded her. Or perhaps it says something about the progressiveness of the region in which she grew up. Although, that brings to rise the question of what changed between her days as a child and the time she was a teenager. Did the attitude of Lorraine change somehow? Or, more likely, as previously stated she simply became more aware of the situation. When we gave our presentation things certainly seemed to go well. Our delivery was adequate as far as I could tell and our facts were accurate. However, in reflection it might have been nice for us to add some conclusions or postulations as are stated above.
