Zora Neale Hurston: Jump at the Sun

Join us for at Teachers College Columbia University! This event celebrates the life and work of the iconic author Zora Neale Hurston.

Zora Neale Hurston, path-breaking novelist, pioneering anthropologist and one of the first black women to enter the American literary canon (Their Eyes Were Watching God), established the African American vernacular as one of the most vital, inventive voices in American literature. This definitive film biography, eighteen years in the making, portrays Zora in all her complexity: gifted, flamboyant, and controversial but always fiercely original.
