Toni Morrison's lines, “Quiet as it's kept, there were no marigolds in the fall of 1941. We thought, at the time, that it was because Pecola was having her father's baby...," are often the reason The Bluest Eye gets banned.
For week (and for every week), Dr. Rondrea Danielle Mathis, CLA English Area Representative, offers a reminder on the importance of reading The Bluest Eye.
