"A famous author once wrote, "Black women can survive only by recovering the rich heritage of their ancestors."

Alice Walker has incorporated her heritage and life into what she has written through the years in the form of poetry, novels, essays, and biographies. She has been well renowned within the literary community and has published many works."
