Join us in wishing Alice Walker a very happy birthday!

An Eatonton native, Alice is a novelist, short story author, poet, and social activist. In 1982, she became the first African-American woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, awarded for her novel The Color Purple. Her contributions to both literature and social change are astounding.

Learn more about Alice with exhibits and programs commemorating her work at The Georgia's Writers Museum in downtown Eatonton. You can also take our Alice Walker Driving Tour which includes stops like The Pex Theatre, The Walker Family Home and Butler-Baker School!
