Another reason I spoke about Ma. Hurston today is because she was of the first well known black writers of her time that tackled hoodoo as a brilliant anthropologist. #Repost @helpinghandspiritual • • • • • • “SWIPE FOR THE GOOD GOOD‼️‼️‼️‼️ “They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God.” Zora Neale Hurston Born on this day! #zoranealehurston #mulesandmen #hoodooinamerica #theireyeswerewatchinggod #folklorist #honeyjar #sourjar #highjohndeconqueror #gotellmyhorse #thesanctifiedchurch #barracoonthestoryofthelastblackcargo #hoodoo #rootwork #conjure #voodoo #obeah #ancestorsspeak #helpinghandspiritual #blackexcellence #africanspirituality #indigenousspirituality https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Cd6FPl8AO/?igshid=a82yeo0ks9q8

“If you’re silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it. - Zora Neale Hurston ____________________________________________ Zora Neale Hurston was a world-renowned writer and anthropologist. Hurston’s novels, short stories, and plays often depicted African American life in the South. Her work in anthropology examined black folklore. Hurston influenced many writers, forever cementing her place in history as one of the foremost female writers of the 20th century. Zora Neale Hurston was born in Notasulga, Alabama on January 15, 1891. Both her parents had been enslaved. At a young age, her family relocated to Eatonville, Florida where they flourished. Eventually, her father became one of the town’s first mayors. In 1917, Hurston enrolled at Morgan College, where she completed her high school studies. She then attended Howard University and earned an associate’s degree. Hurston was an active student and participated in student government. She also co-founded the school’s renowned newspaper, The Hilltop. In 1925, Hurston received a scholarship to Barnard College and graduated three years later with a BA in anthropology. During her time as a student in New York City, Hurston befriended other writers such as Langston Hughes and Countee Cullen. Together, the group of writers joined the black cultural renaissance which was taking place in Harlem. ____________________________________________ #zoranealehurston #theireyeswerewatchinggod #mulesandmen #harlem #harlemrenaissance #blackauthor #blackhistorymonth #bhm #bhm2019 #melaninpoppin #melanin #blackberryvine #aunifedapparel https://www.instagram.com/p/BtuGbNDFNnf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bnyp5m7jm8m6
