Alice Walker Interview: Joining The Civil Rights Movement & Writing 'The Color Purple'

[@DewdropsAndBlueberries]

her voice is sooo calming 😍

[@mikemillionaire81]

I could sit and listen to her story’s all day. You could learn alot from her just by listening.

[@crmay72]

What a beautiful woman, inside and out! Like a previous poster stated, I could listen to her talk all day long. She has a very soothing, comforting voice.

[@lightuponlight6727]

And she looks so radiant and healthy. Her skin is so smooth her voice so silky...

[@umiiyabode]

I have adored Alice Walker for decades now. She is an amazing human being, clear-minded, compassionate, courageous, and authentic. Her work has kept me sane in an insane world. I am grateful to and for her.

[@TuanRahman]

She looks exceptionally radiant and talks so articulate for someone who's 69 years old (this interview took place in 2013). I wish I could have half her energy when I get to her age.

[@sandrakillett9242]

When Walker speaks of her writing she lights up completely. She has many more stories to give to the world. Thank you for sharing your creative mind 💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@npguru]

I love her so much. I met her in the early 2000s. I was so moved by her presence and my reading of her book "In Search of Our Mother's Gardens" that I became overwhelmed in telling her how her stories impacted my own life.

[@RamonaBrooks-cs5ny]

Wow her life's story is a movie. As a young person I could listen to her speak all day. So many wonderful life lessons and jewels found in this interview. Beautifully done!

[@deemorgan4479]

I absolutely love this interview with Ms. Walker. She is so humble and brilliant!

[@mariamysoul]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you....... what a gift to hear her speak and share so much of her wisdom.

[@AngelaKHarrell]

This is such a wonderful interview. As a woman born at the end of the 1960s, I was born during the civil rights era but grew up in a misogynistic household because my mother died at such a young age. For me, Ms. Walker's works illuminate so much of the darkness within me as a woman AND as a writer, and I will forever be grateful. May she always be blessed by God.

[@BlankmanJ-5]

An awesome writer....amazing talent and treasure....as an African American man.....she gave me different views to my soul....pain and soberiety.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sandrakillett9242]

[@christinewawira3651]

As a Kenyan studying in the US and currently reading 'Meridian' by Alice Walker for my literature class, and watching this video, it feels great to understand her story. I am also proud to hear that her first book began in Kenya. Thank you Alice Walker for your continued inspiration 🇰🇪🇰🇪❤️❤️

[@sebastianv3733]

Loved this interview. One of the most heart full interviews on the internet. Amazing Job Walker.

[@actuallyitsshanice9118]

I loved this so so much, now I definitely need to read all of her books. Just her voice alone and the perspective she has is sooo insightful 🩷

It is wonderful to see a brilliant, beautiful, iconic African American/ Native American woman. ❤

[@jolenesimon6123]

She's African American. She would not be accepted by Native Americans

[@sandrakillett9242]

[@talkttalk2010]

I’m surprised there’s no mention of Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah or Stephen Spielberg 🤔

[@michellelaguerre8760]

I am not surprised because she has been a powerful writer before Oprah or Whoopi was on TV. Spielberg may have made some impact on the movie but not so much in her life story. This interview is mostly based on her life as an African-American woman writer and more

[@talkttalk2010]

@@michellelaguerre8760 very true but her book The Colour Purple would not have become as well known as it did if not for Spielberg and Whoopi Goldberg

ACCORDING TO REVELATION S, JESUS HAS FEET Of BRONZE AS BURNT IN A FURNACE AND HAIR LIKE WOOL.

[@kapple654]

She is one of the best writers alive today - of any colour. Sorry Americans but you don't own her, she is too great - she is global - like Arundhati roy, Murakami, Salman Rushdie, Alan Bennet, Mohsin Hamid or Iosbelle Carmody. ... I cannot think of anyone else alive that is universally as poignant - obviously there are many greats that are dead. like 99.9% more.

[@jolenesimon6123]

She is a great African American

[@godshallsmiteyouu]

@@jolenesimon6123….and that’s what I love! 🫶🏾❤️😇

[@sc-bj2fs]

How privileged of you to make such an ignorant statement. You can't have her. To have her is to change everything that informed her need to write. Didn't you listen to her stories?

[@byrolyn8182]

JESUS IS NOT EUROPEAN LOOKING.. GET OVER IT. 😂

[@theajcchannel1331]

Unfortunately, her only child, Rebecca Walker, had a very negative and traumatizing experience with Alice Walker, been a nonexistent Mother.

[@devorrickwatson976]

That book and that movie is disgraceful to black people

[@godshallsmiteyouu]

Yet, the “Bible” condoned you people being slaves! Lol jajajaja 😂

[@Tissss04]

Actually the whole point of the novel was to highlight the gender based violence within black community. That Gender violence exist everywhere, in every community. Its a sad truth. She wanted to showcase the female solidarity, sisterhood and queerness of black woman.

[@Wack-rp9nz]

Color Purple was just a anti black male hit piece. Propaganda

[@godshallsmiteyouu]

And 75% of y’all still ain’t shi!! Jajajaja 😂
