Hey everyone! SPARC is doing a project that will consist of a collection of students and faculty members' experiences with racism and microaggressions at Purdue. As a part of it, we'd really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes of your time to fill out this survey on student experiences w/ microaggressions. The survey is anonymous UNLESS you choose otherwise. Thanks! - https://purdue.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3Owh4KEC4yGzHff

So Happy to be celebrating Black History Month 2017

Zora Neale Hurston is an author and advocate for the Harlem Renaissance and was born in Notasulga, Alabama in a year varying from 1891-1901 ( She usually gave 1901 as her birth year, but also gave 1898 and 1903. Census records suggest 1891 is the more accurate date.).
She was best-known work was published in 1937: "Their Eyes Were Watching God", a novel which was controversial because it didn't fit easily into stereotypes of black stories. She was criticized within the black community for taking funds from whites to support her writing; she wrote about themes "too black" to appeal to many whites.
Alice Walker (the author of "The Color Purple") rediscovered Zora Neale Hurston many years later and helped turn public interest back towards this fascinating female writer.Today Hurston's novels and poetry are studied in literature classes and in women's studies and black studies courses. They have become again popular with the general reading public.
