About this event
A groundbreaking American classic, *Their Eyes Were Watching God* by Zora Neale Hurston is the powerful story of Janie Crawford’s journey to find her own voice and independence.
Returning to her hometown in Eatonville, Florida, Janie recounts her life to her friend Pheoby. From an arranged marriage, to a passionate love in the Florida Everglades, to surviving a devastating hurricane, Janie refuses to settle for a life defined by others.
Set in the Jim Crow South, this lyrical novel explores themes of race, gender, love, and self-discovery through Janie’s search for a love that fulfills her spirit. Praised for its rich Southern Black dialect and vivid storytelling, it remains one of the most important works of 20th-century American literature.
A timeless tale of a woman claiming her freedom on her own terms. Those attending are asked to donate $5/meeting to offset the MeetUp administratve fees. Pay at the meeting or use this PayPal link: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/territoryunread
