Zora Neale Hurston lived a fabulous and consequential life. It is because of her that we have documented certain Black dialects, lineages, and cultural practices of the South. The writer Zora Neale Hurston experienced a revival of sorts after her death. Thanks to the writer Alice Walker (pictured), Hurston’s consequential works were given fresh life and even greater weight, with two posthumously published works, and a Society and a Trust in her name.
Zora Neale Hurston was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker who shed a light on issues facing Black Americans, particularly in the South. She wrote more than 50 plays, stories and essays in her lifetime! #BlackHistoryMonthpic.twitter.com/DPPfXXVqTM ....
