Join Dr. Maryemma Graham and Tayari Jones as they engage in a thought-provoking conversation about the publication of "The House Where My Soul Lives: The Life of Margaret Walker." This groundbreaking biography sheds light on the extraordinary life of Margaret Walker, a trailblazing poet, writer, and institution builder who left an indelible mark on American culture in the 20th century.

Through meticulous research, this biography unveils a comprehensive and critical examination of Walker's pivotal role in the new Black South Renaissance. Contrary to the prevailing view of her as an "angry black woman," this book highlights the depth of Walker's talent, her commitment to writing, her spiritual journey, and her intellectual curiosity. It also delves into her personal struggles, relentless pursuit of perfection, and her principled public critiques.

"The House Where My Soul Lives" offers new interpretations of Walker's prolific writing life, accompanied by 80 archival photos and documents, previously unexamined personal papers, and revealing interviews. This biography presents an intimate portrait of a visionary artist and activist who made significant contributions to Black Studies, Women's Studies, and the Public Humanities.

In addition to celebrating Walker's academic and artistic achievements, this publication also pays tribute to her enduring legacy. The Margaret Walker Center at Jackson State University, which houses archival collections, exhibits, and programs, stands as a testament to her impact.

Dr. Maryemma Graham, a leading figure in the field of Black book history, spearheaded the creation of the History of Black Writing. Through her extensive research and scholarship, Graham has played a vital role in redefining the study of African American literature and culture. She has published numerous books, articles, and essays, and her work has garnered recognition and support from prestigious institutions.

Although Yoho National Park is the smallest among these national parks, it has my favorite, Moraine Lake, which ranks number one. The road may be closed in early October in winter, so you can&#39;t go in.
