Alice Walker
In 1967, nearly three decades before she would pen the Pulitzer Prize winning tour de force that was The Color Purple, Alice Walker made a name for herself in a slightly different way. She, along with her husband Melvyn Rosenman, a Jewish civil rights attorney, would become the first interracial couple to be legally married in the state of Mississippi. Though the marriage ended nine years later, Walker did give birth to daughter Rebecca in 1969 and started a phenomenal career that continues today.
