Toni Morrison, author of seminal works of literature on the black experience such as "Beloved," "Song of Solomon" and "Sula" and the first African-American woman to win a Nobel Prize, has died, her publisher Knopf confirmed to CNN.She was 88.Morrison's novels gazed unflinchingly on the lives of African Americans and told their stories with a singular lyricism, from the post-Civil War maelstrom of "Beloved" to the colonial setting of "A Mercy" to the modern yet classic dilemmas depicted in her 11th novel, "God Help the Child."Her talent for intertwining the stark realities of black life with hints of magical realism and breathtaking prose gained Morrison a loyal literary following. She was lauded for her ability to mount complex characters and build historically dense worlds distant in time yet eerily familiar to the modern reader.Themes such as slavery, misogyny, colorism and supernaturalism came to life in her hands.A decorated novelist, editor and educator -- among other prestigious academic appointments, she was a professor emeritus at Princeton University -- Morrison said writing was the state in which she found true freedom."I know how to write forever. I don't think I could have happily stayed here in the world if I did n't not have a way of thinking about it, which is what writing is for me. It's control. Nobody tells me what to do. It's mine, it''s free, and it's a way of thinking. It's pure knowledge," Morrison said.The words of othersMorrison, who was nearly 40 when she published her first novel in 1970, wasn't an overnight success.The author was born Chloe Anthony Wofford on February 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio, the daughter of George and Ella Ramah Wofford, whom she often credited with instilling in her a love of the arts.A strong and prolific reader as a child, Morrison studied Latin and devoured European literature.Growing up in Lorain, Morrison has said, she played and attended school with children of various backgrounds, many of them immigrants. Race and racism were not the overriding concerns in her childhood that they would become in her books."When I was in first grade, nobody thought I was inferior. I was the only black in the class and the only child who could read," she once told the 2255

The Trump administration is coming out with new visa restrictions aimed at restricting a practice known as “birth tourism." That refers to cases when women travel to the United States to give birth so their children can have U.S. citizenship. Visa applicants deemed by consular officers to be coming to the U.S. primarily to give birth will now be treated like other foreigners coming to the U.S. for medical treatment. That's according to State Department guidance sent Wednesday and viewed by The Associated Press. The regulations will go into effect Friday. 573

There’s a unique museum in Estes Park, Colorado that's considered to be the key to thousands of memories. The Baldpate Inn is not only a museum but also serves as a bed and breakfast. The 102-year-old inn is ran by Lois Smith.“Only two families have owned the inn,” Smith says. “The two brothers who built it did 102 years ago. People recognize the creaky floors if they stayed at their grandmother’s house. The stairs are crooked. You don’t want to drop marbles anywhere, because everything is a little warped.”It’s a place full of stories. Even the name itself is a story. “It was named after a mystery novel,” Smith says. “The Seven Keys of Baldpate. The story is about seven people that go to the lodge, and they think they have the only key.”However, it’s the keys that are key to what gives this place its story. “Probably the most significant thing that people hear about is our really fun key collection,” Smith says. “Approximately 30,000 keys that have all been individually donated by people.”Smith says the keys have been given to the inn from all over the world. “We had a gentleman bring me a key that he had stolen when he was 7-years-old,” Smith says. “He brought it back to us 50 years later in a frame, and now, we have the original key to Room 7. That’s probably one of my favorite keys, but every key is special.” Smith says the museum started this tradition because of the novel written, and wants everyone to leave a memory. The inn is still accepting keys from anyone staying at the inn. 1523

The ousted Grammys CEO is firing back at the Recording Academy, alleging she was removed after complaining about sexual harassment and pay disparities. Deborah Dugan also says she called out conflicts of interest in the nominations for music's biggest awards. Dugan was placed on administrative leave last week. Her lawyers filed a discrimination case Tuesday with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In the sexual harassment and gender discrimination complaint filed Tuesday, Dugan alleges the voting process for the Grammy Awards is "illustrative of the boys' club mentality that exists at the Academy and amongst its Board members."Dugan also alleges that the nominations process is shrouded in secrecy, and that people who have professional or personal relationships with artists sit on the committees that finalize the nominees for the Grammy Awards."To make matters worse, the Board is permitted to simply add in artists for nominations who did not even make the initial 20-artist list. Naturally, the members of the 12 Board and the secret committees chose artists with whom they have personal or business relationships," the complaint states. "This year, 30 artists that were not selected by the membership were added to the possible nomination list."She also claims the board of trustees manipulates the nomination process if the producer for the Grammys wants a specific performance during the show.The academy says Dugan's complaints came only after an employee accused her of misconduct, but it is thoroughly investigating them. 1563

Turns out the woman yelling was a Trump supporter ?????♀?Doesn’t rule out potential mental issue (Drs do that) but good to know they were not in crisis.Earlier this year I was stalked & very nearly hurt by a disturbed person. I don’t take chances & immediately try to de-escalate. https://t.co/kgWFvigJhy— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) October 4, 2019 373
