Re: Walker Field Trip
Alice Walker in Conversation with Saidiya Hartman, 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm MoAD Salon
The Museum of the African Diaspora is located at Mission and Third in San Francisco

Announcement from website http://www.moadsf.org/visit/calendar.html
Please join us in welcoming this major American icon to MoAD as part of our Women’s History Month celebration. Born in Eatonton, Georgia in 1944 to sharecropper parents, Pulitzer-prize winning author Alice Walker is one of the most prolific and respected writers of the 21st Century.

Published in 1982 to unprecedented literary acclaim, The Color Purple established Walker as a major voice in modern literature. Since then, Ms. Walker’s novels, short stories, essays and poems have had a defining impact on our modern literary landscape.

Joining Ms. Walker, in conversation, will be Saidiya Hartman Columbia professor and author of Lose Your Mother, which explores the legacy of slavery and African diasporas identity. This important and free-ranging conversation will bring two generations of talented female authors together to discuss their work, their inspiration and their vision.

Ms. Walker and Ms. Hartman will sign their books following the talk.

Seats are limited. You must RSVP for admittance to program.
MoAD Members $10
General Admission $15

I have five reservations. There will be a list at the door. I plan to arrive at 5:30 p.m. to get a good seat.

Makda is the only student who has reimbursed me for the Sonny's Blues tickets.
