Rorer gave extra care and attention to this portrait of Toni Morrison - highlighting this literary giantess’s importance. Toni Morrison’s words carried great weight and power. This small relief engraving of her face immortalizes a heavy reminder that resistance to what is unjust in our history and our present is the most sincere form of love and hope.
