Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright Beefed Over Representation

Zora Neale Hurston ruffled plenty of feathers when it came to how she crafted her female characters. Many people were not getting it correct, but she knew how to humanize a woman who did herself. Except other male literary giants did not like that. This is a conversation over respectability, representation, and who was supposed to witness it. Keepin' It a Bean is a series where Marquise explores life, social issues, and culture over a cup of coffee with some of his closest friends and creative peers.
