"Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. It is a seeking that he who wishes may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein."
Happy belated birthday, #ZoraNealeHurston.
"I do not pray.... I do not expect God to single me out and grant me advantages over my fellow men.... Prayer seems to me a cry of weakness, and an attempt to avoid, by trickery, the rules of the game as laid down. I do not choose to admit weakness. I accept the challenge of responsibility." – #ZoraNealeHurston #BlackHistory
Gods always behave like the people who created them.

Zora Neale Hurston gave the world powerful stories of Black life and womanhood. Her voice, once overlooked, now inspires generations. What’s your favorite Hurston work?
"I do not belong to the sobbing school of Negrohood who hold that nature somehow has given them a lowdown dirty deal and whose feelings are all hurt about it. 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." ― #ZoraNealeHurston #BlackHistory
"Sometimes I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It's beyond me." — #ZoraNealeHurston #BlackHistory

Another shot of Ms. Macklin as Zora Neale Hurston. She said the dress is genuine 1920s vintage.

My favorite presentation of the day was storyteller Diane Macklin portraying Zora Neale Hurston. I learned a lot about Zora and added some of her works to my reading list.

If you love poetry and you're not reading Devin Kelly's writings about poetry, here's one to give you an idea. Devin always shares a poem, then makes connections between those words, other writers, so many things in the world.

I've spent the last couple of months finding as much as I can about the #ZoraNealeHurston filmography. 80 years on and we still don't have a definitive release of the famous author's ethnographic films. Who's ready to produce them on a Kickstarter? #silentFilm #cinemastodon https://zepfanman.com/2023/09/all-films-by-zora-neale-hurston/
The world needs more images of Zora Neale Hurston's "Fieldwork Footage." This is her playing a drum in Beaufort, #SouthCarolina. And perhaps the spirit of #Elvis came from the woman singing and playing guitar nearby.
I'm posting screenshots from Kino Lorber's African-American (2016) & Women Filmmakers (2018) Blu-ray sets 1928-1940, totaling 31 minutes of Hurston's films. #BlackHistory #ZoraNealeHurston #SilentFilm #BlackWomen

I really enjoyed #TheWomanKing. #violadavis is so good in it. The movie brought to mind a book I read several years ago by #zoranealehurston called #Barracoon. She interviewed a former slave, Kossula who related his story of being captured by the Dahomey warriors, many of whom were women in 1860. I highly recommend the book although the Dahomey don’t come off as well as in the movie.

#ZoraNealeHurston - Invidious
What is your favorite book? I know this can be a hard question, but I believe we all have one book that really moved us, set us on our path, reinvigorated us.
Mine is Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God
I discovered this book over 20 years ago in my AP English class in high school. (Thank you, Mr. Ewald!) I am not a rereader by any means, but I have read this book a number of times throughout the years.
