Alice Walker


Award-winning writer Alice Walker makes a rare return to Georgia as the UGA Delta Visiting Chair for Global Understanding. Walker, a native of Eatonton, is best known as the author of The Color Purple, a tale of intertwined families, race, class, tragedy and redemption in the segregated rural South. It won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and was made into a successful Broadway musical and film. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. Demand far outstripped availability for Walker’s ticketed appearance at the Morton Theatre Oct. 15, so get there early.
