Zora Neale Hurston Revisited

"The sun was gone, but he had left his footprints in the sky."

(from Their Eyes Were Watching God)

"She jumped at the sun."

(from the narration of the excellent PBS documentary)

"Woman Looking Up," from 1984, was inspired by having read one of Zora Neale Hurston's books. I'm grateful to have read Their Eyes Were Watching God in the 1980s at a time when I needed a perspective on life that could sustain me for years to come and then to be reacquainted with Zora Neale Hurston through this documentary.

Learning about the life and times of Grace Lee Boggs

A life well spent on so many levels. 

A story I needed to hear today.

Perhaps everyone has seen this already on PBS.  If not, it's worth seeing.
