Acclaimed American academic and feminist author Alice Walker, most famous for her novel The Colour Purple, will be in South Africa next month to deliver the Steve Biko Lecture.

Alice Walker, poet, writer, novelist, essayist, anthologist, teacher, editor, publisher and activist, will be part of a gathering of reputable artists at An Evening With Alice Walker discussion at the State Theatre in Pretoria on September 7, where the focus will be placed on Steve Biko.
The artists will include Simphiwe Dana, who recently released a ground-breaking album inspired by Biko, called Bantu Biko Street, more than three years ago.
The family of the late Biko will also attend the State Theatre event.
