For a long time, scholars believed that she was born in Eatonville, Florida in 1901. In the 1990s, a filmmaker established that Hurston had been born in Notasulga, Alabama and moved to Eatonville at a young age, spending her childhood there. It was Eatonville, the first all-Black town to be incorporated in the United States, that inspired her imagination. edit Early Life Hurston's parents were Lucy Ann Potts, a schoolteacher, and John Hurston, a carpenter and Baptist preacher. Her father was a three-term mayor who helped codify the laws of the town.

Home Timeline Exhibition For Teachers Resources Zora Neale Hurston (1891 - 1960) writer, folklorist, anthropologist photo by Carl Van Vechten Zora Neale Hurston was born on January 7, 1891, in Eatonville, Florida. Her hometown and her experiences there provided inspiration for several of her novels, including the autobiographical Dust Tracks on the Road. Hurston attended Morgan Academy (now Morgan State University) in Baltimore. After completing the high school requirements there, she studied at Howard University in Washington, D.C. In 1925, she submitted a story, "Spunk," and a play, "Color Struck," to Opportunity magazine's literary contest, and won second place awards. From 1925 through 1927 she attended Barnard College, studying anthropology with Dr. Franz Boas. She subsequently did field research recording the folklore and ways of African Americans, first in Harlem, then throughout the rural South. Her work played a large role in preserving the folk traditions and cultural heritage of African Americans. She expressed her genius by combining her field notes with some autobiography and a vivid imagination to create some of the most exciting, authentic literature of the twentieth century. Hurston was ahead of her time. Her literary activities were influential in bridging the gap between what came to be known as the first and second phases of the Harlem Renaissance. She began writing short stories in the 1920s, but her major achievements were generally between 1931 and 1943, when she wrote scholarly works on folklore and published six major novels. She was on the vanguard of the modern literary movement. Several of her books won recognition and her stories were published in the leading literary magazines of the times.

Because throughout her life she was dishonest about her age no one is quite sure of her year of birth. She was born in the town of Eatonville, Florida. Eatonville is five miles from Orlando. It was an all African American town and was not a ghetto or a slum. Eatonville was the first all black community to be incorporated. In childhood Hurston grew up uneducated and poor, but she was immersed with black folk life. She had little experience with racism early on since the town was all one race. This caused her to have unconventional attitudes later in life which alienated her from others. Zora had two siblings: Sarah who was older, and John who was younger. Her father, John Hurston, preferred Sarah over Zora. He resented that Zora was born a girl. Her mother, Lucy Hurston, died when Zora was nine years old. Lucy strongly encouraged her to be independent and creative. She encouraged all of her children to "jump at de sun". After the death of her mother Zora was shuffled around by relatives and rejected by her father when he re-married. For a place to go, Zora resorted to being a hired domestic in several homes.

Although Hurston was closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance and has influenced such writers as Ralph Ellison Toni Morrison , Gayl Jones, Alice Walker , and Toni Cade Bambara, interest in her has only recently been revived after decades of neglect. Hurston's four novels and two books of folklore are important sources of black myth and legend. Through her writings, Robert Hemenway wrote in The Harlem Renaissance Remembered, Hurston "helped to remind the Renaissanceespecially its more bourgeois membersof the richness in the racial heritage; she also added new dimensions to the interest in exotic primitivism that was one of the most ambiguous products of the age."

To Guide Entry Zora Neale Hurston was born on January 7, 1901 in Eatonville Florida. Eatonville is a community of black people that have enormous respect for themselves and for their ability to govern themselves. Growing up, Zora Neale Hurston experienced separate but equal politics of Eatonville. This experience deeply affected her outlook on racial issues. Zora Neale Hurston’s father, John Hurston, was a tenant farmer and a Baptist minister, as well as the mayor of Eatonville. His sermons were an important influence on her style of writing, Her mother, Lucy Ann Hurston, encouraged her to do her best and to challenge herself. Today, she is a heroine to the people of Eatonville. Eatonville remains, today, an all black town which governs itself. The federal building in nearby Orlando, Florida is named after her. I taught school at Hungerford Elementary School in Eatonville, Florida for two years from 1983 to 1985. In Florida, the school systems are divided up into counties. Eatonville schools are a part of Orange County Public Schools. This is where I first heard of Zora Neale Hurston. I never read any of her works until I moved back to Connecticut. I picked up her autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Dirt Road in the Roberto Clemente Middle School Library. As I read it I was delighted to find that she described Eatonville, Florida beautifully.

Zora Neale Hurston Welcome to Rainblessed and the Zora Neale Hurston page I read Zora for the first time in the Spring of 1996 in a Norton's Anthology text for a Writing Class. It was Zora's wonderful How It Feels To Be Colored Me . I was entranced by the dancing vitality of her writing. I felt energized just reading it, and I immediately wondered "Who IS this woman?" and also, "Why have I never heard of her before?" All of this sent me searching the shelves of used book stores (my favorite haunts) looking for more Zora. That little 4 page declaration had made a strong impression, and I wanted to read more ! It took me a while, however, to find her again. As I read that first-encountered story, I didn't know that it was purest Zora strong, outspoken, highly individualistic, and not afraid to stir up trouble. I later discovered that Zora placed herself in an unfavorable position with some of her brethren literati when she made statements like: "...I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all." "Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves. It fails to register depression with me."

Her books include "Tell My Horse," "Mules and Men," "Dust Tracks on a Road," and "Mule Bone." "Their Eyes Were Watching God," however, is generally acknowledged to be Hurston's finest work of fiction. Still, it was controversial. Richard Wright once called the book "counter-revolutionary" in a New Masses article while Alice Walker has said, "There is no book more important to me than this one."

Despite the many obstacles she endured, Hurston attempted to live her life to the fullest. Like many African-American women, she wore many hats. She was not only a novelist, folklorist and anthropologist, she was also an essayist and playwright. She knew how to have a good time and shocked many (while delighting others) by "being herself" and living her life as she pleased. "I am not tragically colored. There is no great sorrow dammed up in my soul, nor lurking behind my eyes. I do not mind at all.

Women of Discovery: Zora Neale Hurston Zora Neale Hurston may be well-known today as one of the prominent voices of the Harlem Renaissance, but few realize that she was the first African-American to chronicle African-American folklore and voodoo. Listen to Hurston's description of voodoo magic After gaining respect as an author, in 1927 Hurston received a research fellowship to work with Franz Boas, a well-known anthropologist. Under his tutelage, she traveled to Florida to collect folklore. Though this trip was not particularly productive, she learned the most important aspect of her anthropological research: the importance of immersing herself in the community she studied. Her next trip to the South provided her with a wealth of African-American tales. The next year, Hurston found herself in New Orleans collecting not only folklore, but conjure-lore, also known as hoodoo. A form of local magic, hoodoo can be used to settle disputes and love affairs, cure diseases, even to cause the death of an enemy. During this time she learned how to be a hoodoo doctor. To do this, she had to lie nude on a couch for three days, without food and water, her navel on a snakeskin beneath her. She underwent hallucinations and what she called psychic experiences while fasting. It was so powerful that Hurston was never able to write about those three days in detail.

Zora Neale Hurston (1901 - 1960) Singularly dedicated to the preservation of black culture and traditions, Hurston traveled throughout the South collecting folklore and mythology. During the 1930s she was able to garner WPA grants and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She published several collections of stories, as well as novels and an autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road. But by the 1950s, she was no longer able to find any support for her writing and was forced to work as a teacher, a librarian, and even a maid. She suffered a stroke in 1959 and died in 1960 as an indigent and unknown patient in a county welfare home. Thirteen years later the writer Alice Walker and Hurston scholar Charlotte Hunt placed a commemorative tombstone on her previously unmarked grave, reading: "Zora Neale Hurston, a Genius of the South, Novelist, Folklorist, Anthropologist, 1901 - 1960."

Attended Howard University and received her B.A. in anthropology from Barnard College, Columbia University in 1928. FAMILY BACKGROUND: Her father was a Baptist preacher, tenant farmer, and carpenter. At age three her family moved to Eatonville, Fla., the first incorporated black community in America, of which her father would become mayor. In her writings she would glorify Eatonville as a utopia where black Americans could live independent of the prejudices of white society. DESCRIPTION OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS: A novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston was the prototypical authority on black culture from the Harlem Renaissance. In this artistic movement of the 1920s black artists moved from traditional dialectical works and imitation of white writers to explore their own culture and affirm pride in their race. Zora Neale Hurston pursued this objective by combining literature with anthropology. She first gained attention with her short stories such as "John Redding Goes to Sea" and "Spunk" which appeared in black literary magazines. After several years of anthropological research financed through grants and fellowships, Zora Neale Hurston's first novel
