The documents discuss Alice Walker's views on the importance and impact of the Civil Rights Movement. Walker says the movement awakened people's spirits and gave black Americans pride, purpose, and a sense of identity. It allowed people to protect themselves and their loved ones. The movement shattered the false promises of white media and gave people heroes to look up to. In the end, Walker says that even if the movement only took black eyes off of white television or fed one child, it would have been enough because it called black people to life.
