The world needs more images of Zora Neale Hurston's "Fieldwork Footage." This is her playing a drum in Beaufort, South Carolina. And perhaps the spirit of Elvis came from the woman singing and playing guitar nearby.

I'm posting screenshots from Kino Lorber's African-American (2016) & Women Filmmakers (2018) Blu-ray sets 1928-1940, totaling 31 minutes of Hurston's films.

For more about these two photos, check out Tony Cirimele's review on his site about the thehorseshead.blog/2020/11/20/

I recently watched the powerful "Claiming a Space" on PBS and have been thinking about it for days. The imagery, her voice, and the struggle she endured…she feels even bigger somehow. Her story is bigger. 1/5

Happy Birthday to Zora Neale Hurston, born in Alabama in 1891. Hurston, a leader in the Harlem Renaissance, wrote four novels, including Their Eyes Were Watching God, and more than 50 short stories, plays, and essays.
