Hemenway highlights biography A white policeman stopped her and said, "Hey, girl, you just crossed the street against a red light." Her response was, "I've always seen white folks crossing the street during a green light, so I thought the red was for the Black folks." Hemenway wrote Hurston's biography, which was listed among the best books of 1978 by The New York Times. Chancellor Robert Hemenway shared this anecdote and others from the life of Zora Neale Hurston yesterday with an audience of 30 people at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. Hurston was an African-American author, anthropologist and folklorist. "Zora Neale Hurston was a person of extraordinary intelligence and courage." Hemenway said. Hurston was born in 1891 in Eatonville, Fla. She attended Howard University and Barnard College, and she wrote seven books between 1935 and 1948, including Mules and Men and Their Eyes Were Watching God. She died in 1960 in a welfare home in Florida. "She never earned more than $1,000 for any of her books," Hemen way said. "She was never able to make a living out of her writing." Hemenway said Hurston had lived when Jim Crow laws still had been prominent. "She lived in a time when drinking fountains were labeled as 'white' and 'colored'," he said. "During that time, her books weren't distributed in the South except from African-American owned bookstores." African-American authors such as Toni Morrison and Alice Walker did not have to struggle against the obstacles that Hurston did, Hemenway said. "The reason why it is different for Walker, Morrison and other late-20th century authors is civil rights," he said. said. What made Hurston special was the way that she dealt with segregation. Hemenway said. "Zora did not care about politics, and she never cared about stepping on people's toes," he said. "She was concerned about expressing her art." After the presentation, Mewenay said that he was pleased to have an opportunity to talk about Hurston. "It was great to share the information I have about Zora," he said. "I spent a big portion of my life doing research on her, and I don't get to talk about her that often." Andrea Weis, Mainz, Germany, graduate student, said she had enjoyed Hemenway's presentation. "I’m really interested in African-American literature," she said. "But I haven’t read any of her works yet, so I learned a lot from the speech." Convenient, Confidential, Economical Henry W.
