Toni Morrison “Bench By The Road” Reception

The Toni Morrison Society will make its twentieth “Bench by the Road” placement at the Schomburg Center. The ceremony will feature invited guest Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison and President of the New York Public Library, Anthony Marx. The Bench by the Road Project was launched on February 18, 2006, on the occasion of Toni Morrison’s 75th Birthday. The goal of the Project is to create an outdoor museum that will mark important locations in African-American history– both in the United States and abroad–while inspiring dialogue between those who are seated on the bench.
