Dates: Feb 4 and Feb 11 @7pm

Celebrate Black History Month at the Montpelier Arts Center with 2-part book and film discussion of Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Zora Neale Hurston, an evocative writer of the Harlem Renaissance and fierce advocate of her people’s culture, has left a rich heritage of story and artistic creation for us to cherish and enjoy. "Their Eyes Were Watching God" as novel and film will be the focus for two evenings as we consider Hurston’s place in American literature and discuss her depiction of African-Americans’ ordinary lives and use of Black dialect which set many in her community of artists and thinkers on edge. Zora Neale Hurston continues to be a force to be reckoned with on her own terms. Come join us!
