Zora Neale Hurston

Zora Neale Hurston, though not at the time, became an increasingly influential author from the Harlem Renaissance time. One of her greatest books, Their Eyes Were Watching God, helped push Africans to see how far they had come since the time if slavery. Their Eyes Were Watching God was about a former African slave who found freedom and escaped to find a better life for herself. This is exactly what many African Americans wanted for themselves during this time, a better life. This book, along with many others, became a beacon of hope for many Africans and helped push them to find a better life.
