Feb. 18th, 2020 was Ms. Toni Morrison's first birthday since her Homegoing. Following her passing, I felt compelled to compose an Intentional Gesture in celebration of her life and work. On her birthday, spanning the full day (from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm), we invited the world to call in to the site of the Bench By The Road here in Oberlin, while reading favorite passages from her work.
