Discussing Black Death by Zora Neale Hurston
Today I am talking about Zora Neale Hurston’s short story, “Black Death”. This story can be found in “The Complete Stories” and “Hitting a Straight Lick With a Crooked Stick.” I believe that Zora wrote it in 1925. Now almost 100 years later, we can discover and enjoy these stories. In this story, Hurston uses her knowledge of black folklore and black tales of the supernatural, to tell a story of obtaining justice for a broken heart. This story could easily have been an episode Rod Sterling’s Night Gallery or the Twilight Zone. The antagonist of this story ha...

Zora and Langston: A Story of Friendship and Betrayal by Yuval Taylor
Key points from Zora and Langston Provides a good overview of the years before and the years of the Harlem Renaissance Very interesting that in the twenty years between 1900 - 1920, only 10 novels were published by black authors. The book provides details about the growth of available literature by black writers in the 20's and 30's. The role of patronage and access to funding and publishing played is both familiar and interesting. It is interesting that in about 100 years we see another Renaissance in literature but this time it...
