  Untitled= Podcast A’Shyria Montgomery African American Literature Professor Harris 5/6/2025 Major Project While reading the book Sula, many questions pondered my mind about mother/daughter relationships. By having my great-grandmother still in my life, it hit me to do a project about generational love being passed down throughout generations.
