The mission of the Toni Morrison Society is to initiate, sponsor, and encourage critical dialogue, scholarly publications, and projects devoted to the study of the works of Toni Morrison. Because of Toni Morrison's broad intellectual and artistic interests, the programming initiatives of the Society, over the years, have expanded beyond the study of her novels to a more encompassing focus that includes the historical, cultural and pedagogical implications of her work in writing, teaching, arts stewardship, and community outreach.
