Zora Neale Hurston: Her Rise, Fall, and Rediscovery | St. Augustine History

Zora Neale Hurston was one of the most brilliant voices of the Harlem Renaissance — and one of the most overlooked. Buried in an unmarked grave in Florida in 1960, her work nearly disappeared before being rediscovered decades later.

From Eatonville to Harlem to St. Augustine, this video traces the life of the anthropologist, novelist, and cultural preservationist who refused to conform — politically, artistically, or personally.

Author of Their Eyes Were Watching God, Hurston preserved Black Southern folklore, challenged ideological expectations, and lived boldly on her own terms. This is the story of her genius, her controversy, her exile — and her legacy.

Featuring:
– Eatonville, Florida
– St. Augustine and West King Street
– The Harlem Renaissance
– Anthropology & folklore research
– Political controversy
– Alice Walker’s rediscovery
