"I am a Renegade, an Outlaw, a Pagan" - Author,

"I am a Renegade, an Outlaw, a Pagan" -
Author, Poet and Activist Alice Walker in Her Own Words
February is African-American History Month. To honor it,
we bring you a conversation with the renowned author, poet
and activist Alice Walker. She is perhaps best known for her
book "The Color Purple" for which she won the Pulitzer
Prize in 1983, becoming the first African-American woman to
win the Pulitzer for fiction. The novel was adapted into an
Oscar-nominated feature length film and has been recently
made into a Broadway musical. Alice Walker's latest novel
is "Now is the Time to Open Your Heart."
Last month, 1,000 people gathered in the First Congregational
Church in Oakland to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Media
Alliance. We spend the hour playing Amy Goodman's onstage
interview with Alice Walker. [includes rush
