Opening with her initial novel, 'The Third Life of Grange Copeland', Walker has all ears on a medium, which includes sexual and tribal truths within black communities as well as the inescapable relations between family and civilization. Alice Walker Born in 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, to sharecropper parents, Alice Walker has become one of the best-known and most highly respected writers in the U.S. Educated at Spelman College and Sarah Lawrence College, Walker, in a commencement speech at Sarah Lawrence years later, spoke out against the silence of that institution's curriculum when it came to African-American culture and history. Vigorous in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, she utilized her own and others' incidents as substance for her intense inspection of politics and black-white associations in her novel Meridian. (Winchell, 20-27) Opening with her initial novel, “The Third Life of Grange Copeland”, Walker has all ears on a medium, which includes sexual and tribal truths within black communities as well as the inescapable relations between family and civilization. For revealing the former, some African-American male reviewers have condemned her; for discovering the latter, she has been awarded many prizes while captivating the hearts and minds of innumerable black and white bookworms. Possibly her most well-known work is “The Color Purple”, brought to the notice of conventional America through the film version by Steven Spielberg. In that novel of sibling attachment, incest and lesbian love, Walker also brings in blues music as a combined thread in the lives of many of the characters. (Winchell, 20-27) In The Color Purple, Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, the blues singer Shug is the sassy, sensual, bounteous woman who awakens the brutalized and silenced Celie to her own strength and sexuality. With loving song and tender touch, she opens Celie to her own loveliness and possibility and reveals a God who is not the "big and old and tall and gray bearded and white" stern codger of Celie's old-time religion but, instead, an expansive God of trees, air, birds, people -- an erotic God who "love all their feelings," who "love everything you love," and "love admiration. . . . just wanting to share a good thing." With her story, "Everyday Use," Alice Walker is saying that art should be a living, breathing part of the culture. To make this point, she uses the quilts in her story to symbolize art; and what happens to these quilts represents her theory of art. (Christian, 25-28) Everyday Use”, is written in the African-American tradition. Walker has used quilts in the story to symbolize art, to represent the history of family and their culture. The quilts were sewn of cloth pieces of their ancestors. The main characters of the story are mother and her two daughters Maggie and Dee. Both sisters have separate approaches to the family legacy and their evaluation of art is different. For Maggie, the family heritage was important for emotional and personal reasons whereas Dee weighed these things in monetary and financial terms. The mother, a middle-aged black woman always praises and overrates her elder daughter Dee over Maggie, the younger one. The history of these quilts is a history of the family. (Christian, 25-28) Walker adds “I learn that the writer's pen is a microphone, held up to the mouth of ancestors and even stones of long ago”.
