Hurston, the formidable writer and anthropologist whose stories are a standard of college American literature courses, was a close friend of Shirley Kinsey’s uncle, James A. Webster; she discovered these letters among his papers after his death in 1993. Webster befriended many Harlem Renaissance artists and scholars, Hurston included, while he was a student at Columbia University. The two continued their friendship after Webster’s graduation, spending time together in St. Augustine, Florida, where he was a professor at Florida Memorial College. Hurston’s letters to Webster offer glimpses of a prominent public figure’s intimacies and personal moments in a way not usually revealed to us. The Kinseys treasure such synchronicity as it parallels their small acts of collecting writ large in a national and historical context.

Early Life and Education

  • Born on January 7, 1891, in Notasulga, Alabama, Zora Neale Hurston was a pivotal figure in American literature and anthropology.
  • Her family relocated to Eatonville, Florida, in 1894, a town that would profoundly influence her writing, becoming the setting for many of her stories.
  • Following her mother’s death in 1904, Hurston faced various challenges but continued her education, eventually attending Morgan Academy and later Howard University.
  • She pursued studies at Barnard College, where she was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, and Columbia University, conducting anthropological research.

Anthropological Work & Folklore

  • Hurston’s academic pursuits led her to become a prominent anthropologist, focusing on the folklore and traditions of African American communities in the South and the Caribbean.
  • She conducted extensive fieldwork, collecting oral histories, songs, and stories – particularly concerning Hoodoo practices and Caribbean Vodou.
  • Her research was groundbreaking for its time, offering an authentic portrayal of Black culture from an insider’s perspective.
  • Notable anthropological publications include “Mules and Men” (1935), a collection of African American folklore.

Literary Career & Major Works

  • Hurston's literary career blossomed alongside her anthropological work, producing novels, short stories, essays, and plays.
