About this event
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston is a classic novel following Janie
Crawford’s journey from a voiceless Black girl to an independent woman in the American South.
Through three marriages: to the mayor of Eatonville, Logan Killicks; ambitious Joe Starks; and
loving Tea Cake, Janie seeks true love and self-identity, ultimately finding empowerment after
tragedy. The book is written in both lyrical prose and the dialect of the main character.
Zora Neale Hurston was an Black American writer, anthropologist, folklorist, and documentary
filmmaker. She portrayed racial struggles in the early-20th-century American South and
published research on Hoodoo and Caribbean Vodou. The most popular of her four novels is
Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937.
