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.

Zora Neale Hurston Zora Neale Hurston was a novelist, folklorist and anthropologist. She was raised in Eatonville, Florida, where her parents moved shortly after her birth. Her mother died when she was a young girl, and Zora never quite took to her step mother, leaving home at a relatively young age. "After sallying forth from Eatonville she made her way through Barnard and Columbia, where she studied under the eminent anthropologist Franz Boas. But then, instead of clinging to the library stacks to write learned papers for academia to ponder, she went back home to Eatonville, and to the Florida Everglades, and the Georgia Sea Islands, and to New Orleans and Haiti to soak up the speech, songs, music and tales of Black folk, and put it all down on paper and phonographic discs" (Kennedy 1991). Alice Walker , who discovered Zora’s works during the 1970’s. She also sought out Zora’s unmarked grave and placed a headstone upon it, calling Zora "the Genius of the South". For the past decade, her home town of Eatonville has celebrated an annual festival library in Fort Pierce, FL has been named after her, and

Zora Neale Hurston BIO Zora Neale Hurston is probably best known today as the author of THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD (1937) and as one of the most prolific participants in the Harlem Renaissance. 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. I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it. ...No, I do not weep at the worldI am too busy sharpening my oyster knife." - From "How It Feels To Be Colored Me," World Tomorrow, 1928 Zora was born in the all-black town of Eatonville, Florida on January 7, 1891. Her mother Lucy Potts Hurston, a former schoolteacher, died when Zora was a child. Her father John Hurston was a carpenter and Baptist preacher. Zora was the fifth child of John and Lucy's eight children.

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."

Zora Neale Hurston January 7 January 28 ) was an African-American author. Her most famous novel is Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston Hurston was born in Eatonville, Florida , and grew up to study anthropology at Barnard College Hurston's work was largely ignored until 1975, when an article by Alice Walker about Hurston was published in Ms. Magazine . Before this, her work had slid into obscurity for a number of reasons, cultural and political. Dialogue in Hurston's work is roughly transcribed so as to mimic the actual speech of the period, and thus it embraces the dialect and culture of Black America of the early 20th century. For example ( Amy from the opening of Jonah's Gourd Vine Quote:"Dat's a big ole resurrection lie, Ned. Uh slew-foot, drag-leg lie at dat, and Ah dare yuh tuh hit me too. You know Ahm uh fightin' dawg and mah hide is worth money. Hit me if you dare! Ah'll wash yo' tub uh 'gator guts and dat quick." Many felt that rendering the language this way was making a caricature of Black culture and thus was not deserving of respect. Recently, however, critics have praised her for her artful capture of the actual language and idiom of the day.

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. 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.

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.
