An Alice Walker Weekend
When we opened Ida's Bookshop last year with the mission to celebrate women authors, artists, and activists under the guiding light of historic heroine Ida B. Wells, we believed that we could thrive with the support of sisterhood. And we have!
Join us as we celebrate one year in business and our official grand opening with An Alice Walker Weekend--a mix of in-person, hybrid, and online events dedicated to the living literary legend, Alice Walker and her books--including the recent release Gathering Blossoms Under Fire and the 40th anniversary of Pulitzer Prize winning--The Color Purple.
From an interview with Alice Walker, to live blues music at our literary Juke Joint to unlimited spiked purple punch at our book brunch, a film screening, and finally an ole time tent revival service--check out which events are best for you and your sister friends--then register today.
Thank you for your commitment to shopping local and supporting our sister bookshops.
