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.
