On this day in 1947, Octavia Butler was born in Pasadena, California. She would be 73 today. We mourn her stories that had yet to be written, but we celebrate the legacy she left this world. If you have a moment, take some time to scroll through 16 images of Butler's life and work (https://www.cnn.com/2016/03/10/entertainment/gallery/octavia-butler/index.html), posted by CNN.com on the anniversary of her birthday two years ago. They include some notes she took while writing the Earthseed books! Happy birthday, Octavia!
