Obituary: bell hooks, a Hopkinsville native who went on to an international career as an author, critic, feminist and public intellectual, died on Dec. 15 at her home in Berea. She was 69. @lbblackford https://t.co/aYwR0vTjQx
"No matter how hard or terrible our lot in life, to choose against lovelessness - to choose love - we can listen to the voices of hope that speak to us."
