In Morrison’s acclaimed first novel, Pecola Breedlove-an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond, blue-eyed children can devastate all others-prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful, so that people will look at her, so that her world will be different. From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner-a powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity that asks questions about race, class, and gender with characteristic subtly and grace."The Bluest Eye (Vintage International) by Toni Morrison American Library Association executive director Tracie Hall told CNN that banning books can influence a child’s development in relation to real world challenges." ~ 63385 ~
The Wentzville school board had reportedly voted to permanently remove eight books including The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison and Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell. “This plays right into the hands of those with an agenda to rid our public schools of viewpoints belonging to anyone other than straight, white men,” said Rothert in a statement via CNN.

The opinions expressed in this article are Polished gospel that is well produced, 'Alabaster Jar' is not an absolutely classic gospel album but it's still satisfying. On the title cut, the lush orchestral arrangement immediately signals that this is going to be The Big One, the album's centrepiece telling the story of the woman who anointed Jesus. It's the huge ballads that CeCe clearly enjoys the most and they don't come better than "It Wasn't Easy" which is a prophetic ballad, the voice of God coming through the speakers reminding the listener how much they are worth. As this is a late '90s gospel album, there are four production teams working on the project! CeCe is, of course, in fine voice and whether it's the sheer joy of "Higher Place Of Praise" or the vulnerability of the slow, slow ballad "Blessed, Broken And Given", these are songs designed to inspire and encourage. With that in mind, who better to employ on the production team than Fred Hammond? The percussive funk of "King Of Kings" is classic Hammond as is the breezy "Love Of My Heart" and the compelling slow funk of "Without Love". She's grown away from the urban pop of her earlier music and this album is a bit of a genre straddler from worship to urban. After her ventures into praise and worship and the long standing critically acclaimed career recording with her brother BeBe, CeCe Winans presents us with a new project on her own record label.
