Extractions: Alice Walker was born on February 9, 1944, in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and last child of Willie Lee and Minnie Lou Grant Walker, who were sharecroppers. When Alice Walker was eight years old, she lost sight of one eye when one of her older brothers shot her with a BB gun by accident. In high school, Alice Walker was valedictorian of her class, and that achievement, coupled with a "rehabilitation scholarship" made it possible for her to go to Spelman, a college for black women in Atlanta, Georgia. After spending two years at Spelman, she transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and during her junior year traveled to Africa as an exchange student. She received her bachelor of arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1965. After finishing college, Walker lived for a short time in New York, then from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s, she lived in Tougaloo, Mississippi, during which time she had a daughter, Rebecca, in 1969. Alice Walker was active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's, and in the 1990's she is still an involved activist. She has spoken for the women's movement, the anti-apartheid movement, for the anti-nuclear movement, and against female genital mutilation. Alice Walker started her own publishing company, Wild Trees Press, in 1984. She currently resides in Northern California with her dog, Marley. She received the Pulitzer Prize in 1983 for The Color Purple
Alice Walker - Womanist Writer
http://wwwvms.utexas.edu/~melindaj/alice.html

Extractions: Alice Walker has been an ever-present source of comfort, spiritual teachings, and inspiration to me since I first read a collection of her short stories, , during my sophomore year of college in 1982. My personal barometer for truth is the sound and its reverberation of a little bell that chimes within my heart whenever a life truth is introduced to me. In my search for enlightenment on the mysteries of our existence and my own humanity, Alice Walker has been my companion: trilling that little bell into elaborate orchestrations of rejoycement, reintroducing me to forgotten-but-now-found remembrances. Through her collective life work, my own life has evolved: she guided the development and self-expression of my spirituality; she inspired me as I struggled to become a vegetarian; she helped me define my sexuality and womanism. I offer a simple introduction here to the life and works of my favorite and most influential writer.

Extractions: Alice Walker's The Color Purple , published in 1982, tells the story of Celie, a Black woman in the South. Celie writes letters to God in which she tells about her lifeher roles as daughter, wife, sister, and mother. In the course of her story, Celie meets a series of other Black women who shape her life: Nettie, Celie's sister, who becomes a missionary teacher in Africa; Shug Avery, the Blues singer her husband Mr. is in love with, and who becomes Celie's salvation; Sofia, the strong-willed daughter-in-law whose strength and courage inspire Celie; and Squeak, who goes through awakenings of her own. Throughout the story, though, Celie is the center of this community of women, the one who knows how to survive. Click here for a brief biography of Alice Walker. Questions to Think About: 1) Alice Walker's The Color Purple is an example of a "woman's novel." This means not just that it was written by a woman, but that it carries on an identified tradition of women's writing, in terms of narrative strategies, themes addressed, and voice. This is not to say that all women write about the same things; but there is a tradition known as women's literature, which has developed with a consciousness of women's traditions of writing as distinct from mens' ways of writing. With that in mind, consider the following questions: a) What other novels by women have you read as literature? Who are the women authors you have seen included in your reading lists in literature courses in high school or college courses?

Extractions: Alice Malsenior Walker was born on February 9, 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and youngest child of Minnie Tallulah Grant Walker and Willie Lee Walker. Her parents were poor sharecroppers but wealthy of spirit and love. Her father's great-great-great grandmother Mary Poole was a slave forced to walk from Virginia to Georgia with a baby in each arm. Her mother's grandmother Talluhah was mostly Cherokee Indian. Alice is deeply proud of her cultural inheritances. In the summer of 1952 while playing "cowboys and indian" with her brothers (Alice was the Indian with bow and arrow in hand), she was blinded in her right eye by a BB gun pellet. Alice was self-conscious of the large white scar tissue left in her eye. When she was 14 years old her brother Bill had the "cataract" removed for Alice by a doctor in Boston, but her vision never returned. After graduating high school in 1961 (she was her school's valedictorian and prom queen that year), Alice left home to attend Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia on scholarship. Before leaving, Alice's mother gave her three special gifts: a sewing machine for self-sufficiency, a suitcase for independence and a typewriter for creativity. While at Spelman, Alice participated in civil rights demonstrations. She was invited to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s home in 1962 at the end of her freshman year in recognition of her invitation to attend the Youth World Peace Festival in Helsinki, Finland. After attending the conference, Alice traveled Europe for the summer. This began her love for travel and encountering the many peoples and cultures of the world.

Alice Walker Letter To President Clinton
Letter from alice walker to President Clinton. alice walker March 13, 1996. PresidentBill Clinton The White House Washington, DC. Sincerely,. alice walker.
http://www.cubasolidarity.net/awalker.html

Extractions: Washington, D.C. Dear President Clinton: Thank you very much for the invitation to the White House while I was in Washington in January. I am sorry circumstances made it impossible for us to meet. I was looking forward to experiencing the symbolic seat of North American government in a new way. In the past, I have only picketed the White House, and as a student walking up and down the street outside it. I used to wonder what might be inside. It seemed to be made of cardboard, and appeared empty and oppressive, remote from the concerns of a few black students-and their courageous white teacher-from the deep South. The first protest I joined that picketed the White House was a Hands Off Cuba rally in 1962. I was eighteen. It was very cold, snow and sleet everywhere. Our hands and feet and heads were freezing as we trudged in circles, shouting slogans to keep our minds off our misery and to encourage each other. Amazingly, someone from the President's office sent hot coffee out to us. The compassionate gesture humanized the president and the White House for me, and made it possible for me to feel a connection that I would not otherwise have felt. When President Kennedy was assassinated, and my whole school wept, it was of those warming sips of coffee that I thought. I love Cuba and its people, including Fidel. The bill you have signed to further tighten the blockade hurts me deeply. I travel to Cuba whenever I can to take medicine and the small, perhaps insignificant comfort of my presence, to those whose courage and tenderness have inspired me practically my entire life.

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors Alice Walker (1944- ) Index Alice Walker, an African-American and the child of a sharecropper family in rural Georgia, graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, where one of her teachers was the politically committed female poet Muriel Rukeyser. Other influences on her work have been Flannery O'Connor and Zora Neale Hurston. A "womanist" writer, as Walker calls herself, she has long been associated with feminism, presenting black existence from the female perspective. Like Toni Morrison , Jamaica Kincaid, Toni Cade Bambara, and other accomplished contemporary black novelists, Walker uses heightened, lyrical realism to center on the dreams and failures of accessible, credible people. Her work underscores the quest for dignity in human life. A fine stylist, particularly in her epistolary dialect novel The Color Purple , her work seeks to educate. In this she resembles the black American novelist Ishmael Reed, whose satires expose social problems and racial issues.
