Beyond the Fame with Jason Fraley

Jason Fraley interviews "The Color Purple" author Alice Walker and Busboys & Poets Founder Andy Shallal about the Peace Ball, which will be held in Washington D.C. this Saturday night ahead of Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Walker also shares her memories of the 1985 movie version with Whoopi Goldberg, Quincy Jones and Steven Spielberg.
