So fearless and curious, an early inspiration, so sad about the last part of her life!
Just read about her and how her book "Eyes Watching God" was not received well by BM. Such a shame that her work was looked down on.
Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed this study on Ms Hurston. You’ve inspired me to pay a visit to the museum that honors her work. Thank you.

This is great content, thank you.
Omg Zora was a nail tech 😍
I had her biography and sold it, I am one shameful. But I do have the Last Baracoon. Me thinks I will need to find her biography again.
Thank you for creating this biography of this amazing woman. As much as I've loved her work, I was less familiar with her life than I should be. I'm so grateful that Alice Walker brought her into the prominence she deserved. You told her story well, as well as highlighting her works and other resources/references to pursue. 💜

Beautiful
I intend to revitalize the Black Renaissance when my book gets published soon. This woman is an inspiration to me...and she was to Alice Walker too.

Great documentary.
She was also a dedicated conservative and Republican and an international hero to many of us

How much I had a presentation about her❤❤❤
Cudjoe Lewis, born Oluale Kossola was not from Nigeria, but from Benin Republic in West Africa. He was a Yoruba from Benin Republic, not Nigeria.

I haven’t seen any resources that would suggest that Ms. Hurston knew Dr. King. She died before the height of the Civil Rights Movement and was not a strong supporter of integration.
She looks like my aunt
Zora Neale Hurston is so beautiful.
