Hurston, Zora Neale My Most Humiliating Jim Crow Experience
Genre Essay (2 pp. in alternate source) Keywords African-American Experience Doctor-Patient Relationship Patient Experience Power Relations Summary A brief, but to the point description of Zora Neale Hurston's visit to the office of a white physician in the mid 1900's. In a very few words, she provides a description of blatant racism. Although referred by a white friend, Hurston is badly received by a white nurse and physician. Separated from the other patients, she is placed in a closet-like waiting area with soiled towels and uniforms. The physician shows significant lack of interest in this patient, examining her in a rushed and desultory manner. Commentary Hurston, a black writer and anthropologist, is considered to be the most productive black female author. This short essay is a catalyst/trigger for a discussion of how negative attitudes toward patients can influence perceptions and willingness to seek health care. An opportunity is provided as well to develop more of a factual base regarding the black experience with segregated health care delivery systems.

HURSTON, ZORA NEALE
, folklorist, anthropologist, and novelist. Outspoken, spirited, and gifted, Hurston was the most prolific African-American woman writer of the 1930s. She was born and raised in all-black Eatonville, Florida, the major shaping influence of her affirmative vision of African-American rural folk culture. Inspired as a child by the advice of her dying mother to "jump at de sun" and to be her mother's voice, she achieved success under the guidance of Franz Boas as a prize-winning folklorist, anthropologist, and writer. Industry, intelligence, ingenuity, and white patrons facilitated her education as a writer and anthropologist at Morgan Academy, Howard University, Barnard College, and Columbia University, where she studied with Boas. When she arrived in New York in 1925, Hurston's genius for storytelling, drama, and flamboyance helped her make friends quickly. In addition to Boas, the most important were Fannie Hurst, who employed her as a secretary and confidant, Carl Van Vechten, and Charlotte Mason, the patron of several black artists. Much of Hurston's folklore research in the South, the Bahamas, Haiti, and Jamaica was sponsored by these individuals; she also received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1936. Hurston drew on the tension between her folk and formal education for the ethnic material and double-voiced manner of short stories and articles that won her acclaim in the 1920s and 1930s. But many black contemporaries of the Harlem Renaissance and depression eras criticized her willingness to play the minstrel role for whites, and some criticized her books for being pastoral and apolitical. Her most controversial political act was to express opposition to the 1954 Supreme Court school desegregation decision, which she resented for portraying southern blacks as inferior to whites. She died in penniless obscurity.

The Literary Legacy: Zora Neale Hurston
Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) , novelist, anthropolgist, folklorist, journalist and playwright, was a luminary of the Harlem Renaissance. The author of four novels, her masterpiece Their Eyes Were Watching God , after being out of print for nearly forty years, was reprinted in 1978 and is a perennial best seller, used widely on college campuses around the country. Dismissed by much of the White and Black literary establishment for the humor, dialect and pathos in her work when it was originally published, Zora Neale Hurston has found a loyal and loving audience among contemporary readers and Their Eyes Were Watching God has been called one of the finest American novels ever written.

Fem -Biography Zora Neale Hurston
born January 7, 1901 in Eatonville, Florida died January 28, 1960 in Fort Pierce, Florida American author, anthropologist, and folkorist th birthday on January 7, 2001 Author, anthropologist and folkorist Zora Neale Hurston was the most prolific Black woman writer in the USA between 1920 and 1950; the foremother of a generation of African-American women writers, she captured and celebrated the culture of rural Black America in her novels, stories and essays. Hurston was born in an all-Black community rich in folk-tradition and free of racial prejudice. Her father was a Baptist preacher and mayor of the town, and her mother bore eight children and urged her spirited and precocious daughter to "jump at de sun." The education she received at the local school from followers of Booker T. Washington stressed self-reliance as well as basic academic skills. After her mother's death when Zora was nine she felt her childhood was over; at 14 she left home and began life on her own, working, traveling, studying and writing. In 1925 Hurston arrived in New York, developing contacts with Black writers of the Harlem Renaissance and publishing essays and short fiction. She received a scholarship to study anthropology with Franz Boas at Barnard College and became the school's first known African-American graduate in 1928. Hurston devoted the next four years to her ethnographic studies, traveling to Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and the Bahamas to collect folktales, songs, games, prayers and sermons, which she published in

Hurston Brown Brothers (b. Jan. 7, 1903, Eatonville, Fla., U.S.d. Jan. 28, 1960, Fort Pierce, Fla.), American folklorist and writer associated with the Harlem Renaissance who celebrated black culture of the rural South. At age 16, Hurston joined a traveling theatrical company, ending up in New York City during the Harlem Renaissance. She studied anthropology with Franz Boas at Columbia University, taking a scientific approach to ethnicity. As an ethnologist, Hurston traveled to Haiti to study voodoo. She ultimately rejected the conventional viewpoint of the scholar in favour of personal involvement with her heritage. In 1931 she collaborated with Langston Hughes on a play, Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life in Three Acts. Her second novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937), was both widely acclaimed and highly controversial. It was criticized by blacks because, although Hurston refused to endorse the myth of black inferiority, neither did she portray blacks as victims of this myth. The tone of Hurston's work is celebratory, rooted in a rural black South reminiscent of her hometown, Eatonville. Her characters act freely within their rich heritage and narrow social position. Hurston influenced such later black authors as

ZORA NEALE HURSTON
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.

Zora Neale Hurston Zora Neale Hurston is considered one of the titans of twentieth-century African American literature. 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." Born January 7, 1891, in Eatonville, Florida, United States; died January 28, 1960, in Fort Pierce, Florida, United States; daughter of John (a preacher and carpenter) and Lucy (a seamstress; maiden name, Potts) Hurston; married Herbert Sheen, May 19, 1927 (divorced, 1931); married Albert Price III, June 27, 1939 (divorced).

It was the time to hear things and talk." Their Eyes Were Watching God Zora Neale Hurston was the fifth of eight children born to John Hurston, a carpenter, and Lucy Potts Hurston, a former schoolteacher. Hurston grew up in Eatonville, a small town 10 miles northeast of Orlando, Florida. Hurston frequently fudged her birthdate as 1901, but most scholars believe she was born in 1891. Eatonville, known as the "the first incorporated African-American municipality in the United States," was the small-town foundation for Hurston's literary growth. She spent her early years sitting on the porch of Joe Clarke's store, listening to the men swap stories. This image of an African-American town that thrives through storytelling is one that occurs in much of Hurston's work.

Even in the helter-skelter skirmish that is my life, I have seen that the world is to the strong regardless of a little pigmentation more or less. No, I do not weep at the world — I am too busy sharpening my oyster knife." This quotation from her essay "How It Feels to Be Colored Me" (1928) portrays Zora Neale Hurston's joyfully contrary view of herself in a world where being black was often perceived as a "problem" and portrayed that way even by black writers. Hurston considered her own blackness a gift and an opportunity. As an anthropologist and writer, she savored the richness of black culture and made a career out of writing about that culture in all its color and fullness. In the process, she became a vibrant figure in the Harlem Renaissance and is now considered one of the defining authors of the African American literary tradition ( see African American Literature In her 1942 autobiography
