DAY 5 OF 28 READS FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. Barack Obama’s favorite book (and mine too), Toni Morrison’s SONG OF SOLOMON, follows the life of Macon "Milkman" De...ad III from birth in 1932 until 1963. Morrison’s first book to feature a male protagonist SONG OF SOLOMON takes Milkman on a journey from Michigan to his ancestral town of Shalimar, Virginia. It has been recognized by the National Book Critics Circle, Oprah Winfrey’s book club, and in Morrison’s Nobel Prize for Literature, Morrison's great body of work includes BELOVED, SULA, THE BLUEST EYE, and TAR BABY. "Wanna fly, you go to give up the shit that weighs you down"
