Author Alice Walker Honored In Hometown Of Eatonton

The town of Eatonton, Georgia, will honor one of its own this
weekend: prolific poet, Pulitzer prize winning novelist and
activist Alice Walker. The Georgia Writers Museum will celebrate
Walker's 75th birthday with a now sold-out day of festivities. One
highlight at Saturday's celebration is a conversation with Walker
and University of Georgia professor Valerie Boyd . Boyd is the
curator and editor of a forthcoming collection of Walker's
journals. Boyd spoke with On Second Thought host Virginia Prescott
about the life and legacy of Walker.
