Friday, March 15 | 3pm | Eberly Center Lounge, Tucker Hall 0168
Join the Fearless Writers Community Empathy Write to learn about Zora Neale Hurston. Participants will also learn tips for writing and reviewing others authobiography poems. Women's histories are often lost because historical emphasis has been put on Great Men and Great Wars. Even though Zora Neale Hurston wrote an autobiography, Dust Tracks on a Road, her story and her published works/research was nearly lost because of her bold approaches and focus on Black women characters. Had her work not been recognized by writers and scholars like Alice Walker, her wisdom would have been lost to all of us.
