In order to celebrate Black History Month, the club selected a classic by Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God. In 1925, shortly before entering Barnard College, Hurston became one of the leaders of the literary renaissance happening in Harlem and in 1937, she published her most famous novel. It is required reading for some, and for those who missed out-now is your chance to read it!

According to the Goodreads description: Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a black woman in the '30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/37415.Their_Eyes_Were_Watching_God?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=rIj2Ppi2Ra&rank=1
