Game Changers: Google Honors Zora Neale Hurston

Written by:  Jamie

Zora Neale Hurston, Class of 1928, Chicago, Ill., November 9, 1934

“Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can anyone deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It’s beyond me.”
― Zora Neale Hurston

That would be Zora Neale Hurston, born in Alabama on January 7, 1891! Hurston grew up in Florida and ended up becoming one of the most influential black authors of the twentieth century. She was also closely associated with the Harlem Renaissance.

Hurston wrote the famous 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, based on the life of a black woman in early twentieth-century Florida. It is often touted as one of the best novels ever written.

 

“Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose.”
― Zora Neale Hurston

 

However, my favorite aspect of Hurston’s work would the folklore books captured from the oral stories prominent in African American culture and which she discovered through her anthropological research.

Hurston passed away in Florida at the age of 69.
