New on TikTok: Builders and Blueprints Zora Neale Hurston Hollywood has always known how to use us, and Zora Neale Hurston spent her life refusing that script. Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God was rejected by the Black literary establishment because it showed joy, love, and full Black humanity, not only suffering. Why did Richard Wright dismiss Zora Neale Hurston? Because she refused to let Black pain be the only story, and her work at thegarveyclassroom.com shows why that refusal still matters in 2026. Send this to a parent who needs to know there are stories out there for their children that are not all about pain.#MarcusGarvey #BlackHistory365 #TheGarveyClassroom #WomensHistoryMonth #ZoraNealeHurston
