Thursday, January 28, 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the death of writer Zora Neale Hurston.
"Sometimes, I feel discriminated against, but it does not make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can any deny themselves the pleasure of my company? It is beyond me." --Zora Neale Hurston, "How It Feels to be Colored Me," 1928.
