When they married, they became Mississippi's first legally married biracial couple. Her Georgia-born mother, a published poet by then, had become active in the civil rights movement and met a white attorney, Mel Leventhal, while working on a voter-registration drive in Mississippi. Author of the best-selling Black, White, and Jewish: Autobiography of a Shifting Self, Walker has written extensively on race, gender politics, and the changing face of contemporary American feminism.īorn in 1969 in Jackson, Mississippi, Walker came into the world as a symbol of the civil-rights era and harbinger of a new age. Rebecca Walker, daughter of novelist Alice Walker, has forged her own successful career and identity as a writer, activist, and leading American advocate for women's issues.
