Slow and not too bright

[Joyce, Thomas F.]

I'm surprised at the lack of chatter on the following story (1st paragraph from the Washington Post):

"Toni Morrison's genius enables her to create novels that arise from and express the injustices African Americans have endured." Is there something grammatically wrong with this sentence? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51947-2003May13.html

To me this story illustrates how language changes:  what was once thought to be a grammatical rule is no longer perceived as such.
