Morrison graduated from Howard University in 1953, earned an MA from Cornell, then worked as an editor for a textbook company before moving to the fiction department at Random House. The day before the show opened, I was still adding things and taking things away, much to the joy of the archivists." "I really do believe that archives and collections are always telling us new stories. "There are over 400 boxes of material," Womack says of Morrison's archives. (The first, Nell Painter, had been hired only the year before.) Now, Autumn Womack, who is also a Princeton professor of literature and African American Studies, works in Morrison Hall, a building named after her.
When Morrison was hired at Princeton - in 1989 - she was the second Black woman faculty in the university's history. The exhibition commemorates the 30 th anniversary of that achievement. Toni Morrison remains the sole Black female recipient of a Literature Nobel.
