The Black History Book Club concludes its summer season with a discussion of Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston on Aug. 31. First published in 1937, the novel follows Janie Crawford’s journey toward self-definition across love, loss, and independence in early 20th century Florida. Hurston’s use of regional dialect, folklore and interior reflection helped reshape American literature and positioned the book as a foundational text in Black and feminist literary traditions.
