She had been spending every minute that she could steal from her chores under that tree for the last three days. That was to say, ever since the first tiny bloom had opened. It had called her to come and gaze on a mystery. From barren brown stems to glistening leaf-buds; from the leaf-buds to snowy virginity of bloom. It stirred her tremendously. How? Why? It was like a flute song forgotten in another existence and remembered again. What? How? Why? this singing she heard that had nothing to do with her ears. The rose of the world was breathing out smell. It followed her through all her waking moments and caressed her in her sleep. It connected itself with other vaguely felt matters that had struck her outside observation and buried themselves in her flesh. Now they emerged and quested about her consciousness.

Help Search: Biography of Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1959) Zora Neale Hurston On January 7, 1891, Zora Neale Hurston was born in the tiny town of Notasulga, Alabama. She was the fifth of eight children in the Hurston household. Her father John was a carpenter, a sharecropper, and a Baptist preacher; her mother Lucy, a former schoolteacher. Within a year of Zora's birth, the family moved to Eatonville, Florida. Eatonville was the first incorporated black municipality in the United States. In 1904, thirteen-year-old Zora was devastated by the death of her mother. Later that same year, her father removed her from school and sent her to care for her brother's children. A rambunctious and restless teenager, Zora was eager to leave the responsibility of her brother's household. She became a member of a traveling theater at the age of sixteen, and subsequently began domestic work in a white household. The woman for whom Zora worked bought her her first book and arranged for her to attend high school at Morgan Academy (now known as Morgan State University) in Baltimore. She graduated in June 1918. The following summer, Zora worked as a waitress and manicurist before enrolling in Howard Prep School. She later attended Howard University. Although she spent nearly four years at Howard, she graduated with only a two-year Associates degree. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that Zora spent most of her time at Howard writing. Beginning with a college publication, and then branching out into writing contests in newspapers and magazines, the early 1920s marked the beginning of Zora Neale Hurston's career as an author.

The Zora Neale Hurston Digital Archive Home Home The Archive Purpose ... Site Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960) was a star of the Harlem Renaisance and called "one of the greatest writers of our time" by Toni Morrison. Hurston was a distinguished author and anthropologist who celebrated and preserved her African–American culture in both her scientific research and in her fiction. She wrote four acclaimed novels—including her most famous novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God When Hurston died in a welfare home in Fort Pierce, Florida, in 1960, her work had fallen into obscurity. Thirteen years later in 1973, Alice Walker discovered Hurston's unmarked grave and introduced Hurston's work to a new generation of readers and scholars. Since then, the Hurston revival has restored her position in American literature as a writer who movingly portrays an African–American culture that was on the verge of disappearing, gender relationships that feature women as equal to men, and characters who exhibit "racial health," in the words of Alice Walker.

Williams The Harlem Renaissance: The Development of a New African-American Consciousness Angela Wiley In New York in 1905, after a successful real estate market had declined, landlords and developers attempted to entice African-American realtors and tenants. After and during World War I, thousands of blacks migrated from the South and other areas to look for jobs and, by 1923, the number of blacks in New York was estimated to be 183,428, nearly three times that reported in 1910. Two thirds of these people settled in Harlem which, at that time, was distinctively black (Lewis, "Harlem's First Shining" 57). In 1917, an intellectual movement, known as the Harlem Renaissance, began in Harlem and lasted until 1935. David Levering Lewis, in his introduction to The Portable Harlem Renaissance Reader , writes that:

Today, Hurston is better known as a major literary figure, but she was also a trained anthropologist, including studying under Franz Boaz. A native of Eatonville, Florida, Hurston fell upon hard times during the Great Depression and eventually sought out relief work with the Federal Writer’s Project (FWP). Having already conducted fieldwork for her own studies, Hurston worked with Herbert Halpert and Stetson Kennedy in the FWP. Her work on Florida’s turpentine camps is still considered authoritative.

Who was Zora Neale Hurston? Zora Neale Hurston lived many lives during her all to unrecognized existance. Even the epigraph that graces the headstone that Alice Walker placed at her grave at the Garden of Heavenly Rest in 1973, Zora Neale Hurston "A Genius of the South" Novelist, Folklorist, Anthropologist does not fully or acurately capture her multifaceted existance. She was a woman as Mary Helen Washington elequently observed "half in shadow." Even the birthdate printed on the tombstone, a birthdate that Hurston cites in her autobiography, proves inaccurate as family records indicate that she was born a full decade earlier. Furthermore, Hurston held many more occupations than the three listed in her epigraph. She worked as a playwrite, an anthropologist, a high school and college Drama professor, a director, a librarian, a producer, and in her latter and more impoverished years a maid. In 1925, Zora Neale Hurston traveled to Harlem to take part in the self-consciously created Harlem Renaissance with " $1.50, no job, no friends, and a lot of hope." Born on January 7, 1891 in Eatonville, Florida Hurston attended Howard University where she became acquinted with figureheads of the Renaissance such as Alain Locke and Charles S. Johnson. Coming to Harlem at the bequest of Johnson, Hurston soon became one of the prominent New Negro artists who formed the focal point of the Harlem Renaissance. Through the publication of stories such as "Spunk," "John Redding Goes To Sea," and "Sweat" Hurston created an artistic aesthetic that prioritized the creative significance of working class black culture to the creation of "high" art. Her interest in the folk translated into a fellowship at Barnard University with famed anthropologist

dd Black Libertarian: The Story of Zora Neale Hurston by Marcus Epstein Like it or not, it is Black History month, a time when the establishment celebrates Marxists such as W.E. Du Bois, Angela Davis, Huey P. Newton, and an assortment of other radicals. Most mainstream conservatives search to find famous blacks that they can trumpet as conservative heroes. Neoconservatives do this by promoting the cult of Martin Luther King Jr. and have nostalgia for the "golden era" of the civil rights movement that never existed. Any genuine conservative or libertarian does not need to be told that King was clearly always a man of the Left who supported democratic socialism, reparations for slavery, and affirmative action . Others properly look towards Booker T. Washington. However there is one African American who is widely ignored by the Right, largely because she has become a hero to multiculturalists and organized feminism. That woman is Zora Neale Hurston. Her first novel Jonah's Gourd Vine was published in 1934 and praised by the New York Times as "the most vital and original novel about the American Negro that has yet been written by a member of the Negro race." Her next and best-known novel

On June 29, 1997 professors of literature at Ohio University, Marilyn Atlas and Edgar Whan, came to Studio B in the Ohio University Telecommunications Center to record a discussion about the novel Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston. They were joined by guest scholar Annette Oxindine of Wright State University. Here are the transcripts of the conversation. Marilyn Atlas Their Eyes Were Watching God "It was a spring afternoon in West Florida. Janie had spent most of the day under a blossoming pear tree in the back-yard. She had been spending every minute that she could steal from her chores under that tree for the last three days. That was to say, ever since the first tiny bloom had opened.
