On Toni Morrison and The Cross Aug 07, 2019

Show notes

As we celebrate the life and legacy of the great Toni Morrison, we take time to remember her first novel, The Bluest Eye, and talk about how it illumines both the cross of Jesus, and the ways in which we still may be trying to crucify others.
