It's All About Zora! with Ibram X. Kendi

Zora Neale Hurston had a profound love for rural African American southern culture, a passion vividly expressed in her writing. Her work serves as a window for many seeking to see themselves represented. Dr. Ibram X. Kendi has contributed to this legacy by adapting Zora's works into children's books, fostering an appreciation for African American culture and language in young readers.
Join us as Dr. Kendi discusses his latest adaptations, The Making of Butterflies and Barracoon. We will explore themes of folklore, folktales, language, dialect, and the importance of children being able to read and understand African American Vernacular English.
