Alice Walker's coat

I'm not sure if this is true...

There will be an auction of a magical coat that once belonged to the
inestimable Alice Walker on eBay starting May 1 and ending
May 7. Proceeds fromthe sale will support the African American
Women's Resource Center in Washington, DC.

Description:Beautiful, full-length, handmade wool coat. Butterfly
design with dolman sleeves to accommodate wearing over suits
and sweaters. Fashioned in deep, rich earth tones, including
forest green and royal purple. Designed to complement any
figure - one size fits most. Ms. Walker can be seen wearing the coat
in her book, The TEMPLE OF MY FAMILIAR on page XX. She
donated the coat several years ago, recognizing the Center's important
work to improve the lives of women and girls of the African diaspora throughout the country. To see more of the coat, visit our website at www.aawrc.org.
