DESCRIPTION:World famous novelist and poet Alice Walker reflects on her recent visit to

 co-host of KPFA’s “Voices of the Middle East and North Africa.”  
 Introduced by Penny Rosenwasser of the Middle East Children’s Alliance. 
 \n\n“Going to Gaza was our opportunity to remind the people of Gaza and 
 ourselves that we belong to the same world: the world where grief is not 
 only acknowledged, but shared; where we see injustice and call it by its 
 name; where we see suffering and know the one who stands and sees is also 
 harmed, but not nearly so much as  the one who stands and sees and says and 
 does nothing.”   —Alice Walker\n\nAlice Walker received the Pulitzer 
 Prize in 1983 for The Color Purple. Among her numerous other awards and 
 honors are the Lillian Smith Award from the National Endowment for the 
 Arts, the Rosenthal Award from the National Institute of Arts & Letters, a 
 nomination for the National Book Award, a Radcliffe Institute Fellowship, a 
 Merrill Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Front Page Award for 
 Best Magazine Criticism from the Newswoman's Club of New York. She also has 
 received the Townsend Prize and a Lyndhurst Prize. Among\nher many popular

 Waiting For, and Why War Is Never a Good Idea. \n\nTickets: $12 advance:
