Quote: Our favorite quotes comes from Ms. Zora Neale Hurston, the noted Black female novelist, folklorist and anthropologist who expressed her “Negroism fitting me like a tight chemise. Through the spy-glass of anthropology, I was able to look at my garment-Black culture.” Mules and Men by Zora Neale Hurston.
