Duck By Duck
Imagining Tomorrow
Most people know Zora Neale Hurston as the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God, but Zora was much more than a writer. She was an anthropologist, ethnologist, and philosopher, and perhaps one of the most significant figures in American history. Why? Because she is the common thread that unites our shared human experience.
Zora bridged divides, connecting liberals and conservatives, Northerners and Southerners, preachers and practitioners, everyday people and Ivy League scholars, the wealthy and the impoverished, and so many others from every walk of life. She refused to be confined by any "ism," viewing people “duck by duck,” beyond region, race, gender, or religious beliefs.
This is the same spirit of
Our Ancestors Are Our Future.
