Troy Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Only three Black writers have won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Do you know them? (off the top of your head--without looking it up). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDBurns Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I would have said James Baldwin, August Wilson and Toni Morrison, but I haven't looked it up and I don't know if I'm right on Toni, lol. Time to hit the google! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Correct! Derek Walcott, Toni Morrison, and Wole Soyinka of St. Lucia, America, and Nigeria respectively were the only Black people to win a Nobel Prize for Literature. I attended the conferences Clarence mentioned in which Morrison and Walcott were honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
