" I sometimes think that authors do not know how valuable they are. I don't mean the personal pride that we take in our work. But value to the CULTURE, to the WORLD, in MAKING LANGUAGE WORK." Thank YOU, Miss Toni. We certainly do, and always, always, miss you. And LOVE you. Thank you. 💕📚🎭✏️
9:00 What is the source of this flattened perception of private and public? Part of the confusion may simply be the reckless use of the terms. There is private life, and there is the privatization of prisons, of healthcare, of so-called public schools. The first use emanates from constitutional guarantees as well as a deeply personal claim; the second is a corporate investment publicly traded.
