An excerpt from the Delray Beach Historical Society's event page:

Zora Neale Hurston, born 1891, was an author, folklorist, journalist, dramatist, and influential member of the Harlem Renaissance who celebrated African American culture of the rural South. She is considered one of the finest American novelists of the first half of the 20th century best known for her novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God (1937). A complex and controversial figure, Hurston was an ardent promoter of African American culture. [ . . . ]
