Author : Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was a prominent American folklorist and author, whose work vividly documents African American life in the South. A key figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Hurston co-founded the short-lived literary magazine Fire!! in 1925 with fellow luminaries Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman. Her ethnographic studies at Barnard College enriched her storytelling, evident in her acclaimed works such as *Their Eyes Were Watching God* and *Mules and Men*. Hurston also showcased her cultural heritage through performance, creating a folk-based dance group that brought Southern narratives to Broadway. Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, she conducted groundbreaking research on Vodun and its rituals in Haiti. Later, she reported on significant social issues, including the high-profile murder trial of Ruby McCollum, reflecting her commitment to unveiling the complexities of African American experiences. Hurston’s multifaceted contributions continue to resonate in literature and social discourse.
