Alice Walker was a fighter for her cause,
wanting rights and for her culture to not be lost
As an African American growing up in the Harlem Renaissance
when the culture of her people became popular and took a stance
against the whites ever powerful yells for control over them
As a young girl Alice was oppressed for the color of her skin but her mother wouldn’t let him
tell her how she ought to live her life and stuck Alice in the first grade before the age of five
A writer since adolescence Ms. Walker knew her way with a pen
Her most popular book, The Color Purple, shows how women are treated by men
though in different parts of the world, America and Africa, with the same disrespect
In the world of 1910-1940 the African culture is what people would expect
to witness out and about in their lives affecting what they do and see
Dressing in bright colors and listening to the music of their society
always trying to have the equality they deserve
