DESCRIPTION:World famous novelist and poet Alice Walker reflects on her recent visit to 
 Gaza in a deeply thoughtful interview with Malihe Razazan, producer and 
 co-host of KPFA's "Voices of the Middle East and North Africa."  Introduced 
 by Penny Rosenwasser of the Middle East Children's Alliance. \nSupported by 
 Code Pink, American Muslim Voice Foundation, KPFA Radio, Middle East 
 Children's Alliance, Global Exchange, A Jewish Voice for Peace \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  her many popular 
 books are: Possessing the Secret of Joy, We Are the Ones We Have Been 
 Waiting For, and Why War Is Never a Good Idea. \n\nTickets: $12 advance:
