For Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, documentarian Timothy

Greenfield-Sanders focuses his lens on the Nobel Prize–winning

author as she recounts her childhood in the Midwest, her early

career as an influential book editor, and the aims that shaped

her revered novels. Of our current political climate, she says that

while she respects protests, it’s the power of books that will last.







WATCH

Ava DuVernay’s Netflix series, When

They See Us (premiering May 31),

reminds the world that the five

Harlem teens wrongfully accused

of a notorious 1989 rape were, as

she puts it: “Not thugs...not even

the Central Park Five. They are

Korey, Antron, Raymond, Yusef,

Kevin. They are millions of young

people of color who are blamed,

judged, and accused on sight.”
