We're doing one of the GOATS - ZORA NEALE HURSTON!!  One of the greatest Black writers of America's history (in our opinion!), Zora's books put Black women at the center of her stories, writing and depicting Black (especially Southern) Americans' stories when no one else did.  Zora might have remained unknown forever if not for Alice Walker, who after discovering Zora's writings shined a spotlight for all to see the brilliant storyteller: Zora Neale Hurston.
