Zora Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston (poses from a Crow dance), 1935

Zora Neale Hurston (born January 7, 1891 - January 28, 1960 ) spent her early adulthood studying at various universities and collecting folklore from the South, the Carribean, and Latin America. She published her findings in Mules and Men. She was a fixture of the Harlem Renaissance, rubbing shoulders with many of its famous writers. In 1937, she published her masterwork of fiction, Their Eyes Were Watching God.
