Zora Neale Hurston’s impact is not limited to her anthropological, ethnographical, and literary contributions. It extends to her ability to persevere through trials and tribulations. By observing Hurston’s works, we reinforce her significance. This exhibit calls you, the visitor, to be empowered to do what Hurston and so many of our ancestors had to do during incomprehensible times. LEAVE YOUR MARK!
Zora Neale Hurston: Leave Your Mark, curated by Genesis Leonard under the guidance of Lourdes Santamaría-Wheeler, is on display in the Smathers Library’s 2nd floor exhibit gallery and is open to the public during normal building hours from September 24th-December 12th, 2025.
