“All the time I was down on his floor I was saying to myself: ‘Lord, let me do better than this. Let me rise!’”
-American writer Paulina Marshall who wrote as Paule – with a silent “e” on the end – born on this day in 1929

#WriterSky #MacArthurFellow #BrownGirlBrownstones #Ambassador #History #BOTD
She is best known for her coming-of-age, autobiographical novel, “Brown Girl, Brownstones,” about a girl brought by her parents from the Caribbean to New York. Marshall, who was Black, then published a collection of four novellas titled Soul Clap Hands and Sing. This collection confronted the topic of identity, fractured by forces beyond the control of her protagonists. Readers, critics, and fellow writers could relate and they loved her work. The poet Langston Hughes asked Marshall to become, like him, a U.S. cultural ambassador. They embarked on a global tour, supported by the U.S. State Department. After her return to the states, Marshall began writing what would become the novel The Chosen Place, the Timeless People. She began teaching creative writing in the 1980s and was awarded the MacArthur Genius Prize in 1992.

Extremely happy for Tonika. She is my standout MacArthur "genius" in this year's class. Her work is not only useful but, in my humble opinion, it is a work that many of us "what if" with no action.
