Zora Neale Hurston: An Appreciation
Submitted by Michelle Cavalier on Wed, 02/21/2018 - 2:31pm
One of the writers most dear to my heart is Zora Neale Hurston. As a black woman living in the early 1920s, Hurston was a powerful force; fighting against the grain of a dominantly sexist and racist society. This year for Black History Month, I wanted to share what Hurston means to me and why her work is essential to the American experience.
