“A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.” ~Zora Neale Hurston

 The folklorist, anthropologist, and author was born on January 7, 1891. She died a penniless recluse on January 28, 1960, buried in an unmarked grave.

Photo: Zora Neale Hurston and an unidentified man probably at a recording site, Belle Glade, Florida; ca. 1935. The photo was taken during the 1935 Lomax-Hurston-Barnicle recording expedition to Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas.
