FILE - In this April 23, 2009 file photo, Alice Walker stands in front of a picture of herself from 1974 as she tours her archives at Emory University, in Atlanta. Walker, who turns 70 later this month, is thinking about her legacy. Over the past few years, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author has donated her papers to Emory University, permitted "The Color Purple" to be released as an e-book and reached a deal with Simon & Schuster to publish excerpts from journals she has kept for decades. Walker also participated in the documentary "Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth," scheduled to air Friday, Feb. 7, 2014 on PBS stations as part of the "American Masters" series. (AP Photo/John Amis)
