This video reveals a personal portrait of Professor Morrison while analyzing her intentions and techniques of composition. Interwoven are scenes of four students discussing her as a role model. They ponder "The Bluest Eye" and "Beloved," the work for which she received the 1988 Pulitzer Prize. They cite a quote from "Jazz" as revealing much of her authorial intent. The students conclude that part of her significance lies in her being a black thinker and also offering to black Americans a sense of belonging here in America, as opposed to a rootlessness or searching for a vague sense of "belonging" in Africa.
