    Alice Walker was born on February 9, 1944. As a young girl, she was considered as a tomboy. Also, at the young age of 8, Alice Walker became blinded in the right eye by a pellet gun. After unexperienced at-home treatment, she was informed by the hospital her eye was too infected to ever get that eyesight back. Due to this awkward one-eyed blindness, she was an outcast in school. Walker first attended Spelman College then transferred because of a scholarship in 1963. This novelist's most known publications include: "The Color Purple", "Once", "To Hell With Dying", "The Third Life of Grange Copeland" and "Meridian". Walker's main motivators were Zora Neale Hurston, Bean Tumos, Betsy Heard and others.

    Alice walker was born February 9, 1994. She was the 8th children and her parents only made 300 dollars a year but she was a hard worker. She grew up in a violent environment and racism. And til this day walker is one of the most well known female writers. At a young age walker was a so confident and outgoing tomboy, but in the summer of 1952 walker was playing a game and was accidentally blind in her right by a BB gun. Walker used her blinded eye as a filter through which to look beyond the surface of people. Walker received a scholarship to attend Spelman College, where she got involved with the growing civil rights movement ( a movement which called for equal rights in racism) in 1963 Walker received a another scholarship and transferred to Sarah Lawrence college in New York where she completed her studies and graduated with a bachelors degree in 1965.

    How do you perform female circumscision?

    • @annacbrown1986
      @annacbrown1986 9 років тому +3

      adueso they cut off the clit and inner and outter labia and sew the rest together so the girls/women can only pee and menstruate through a tiny hole. Many girls die from infections, because the circumcision is performed without anesthesia and with dirty instruments. If you have the nerves you should google it.

      That’s an unfair question. You Tube Channels are not assigned. People make them because they have the gumption to make them.
