Zora Neale Hurston was a blistering critic of collectivism and identity politics. Here I go taking liberties in another in a series of conversations with the dead.
I'm certain there will be some that take issue with formulating your own questions and using a dead person's quotes to create a narrative. I believe this is a creative way to bring this conversation to the forefront.
What is interesting about revisiting her work would be the time period. I learned much I did not know, history we were never taught, when I watched "Uncle Tom II". Everyone on all sides could learn a great deal if we just talked to one another instead of the constant gaslighting and marginalization that occurs.
I suspect those that don't want us all coming together and talking through things, will have their own spin to gaslight and marginalize this post and you.

Lordy, I sure hope not. I just thought this would be a good day to run this on a literary hero of mine.
Great piece! As usual, I'm learning thru reading your stuff. We have her book on the bookshelf, which I grabbed and will be reading soon. Thanks.
