Morrison was one of the few who wrote for an African American audience, and she understood the way language could operate as an oppressive or uplifting force - she refused to let her words be marginalised. After years of fighting to be heard, Morrison was awarded a Nobel Prize for her writing, and her novels are now taught in schools around the world.
