Thank you for making this history available to the public. I hope that women will see it in particular.
I was inthralled with the life of this women. She truly was a free spirit. Like many great artist, she was not wealth until after her death—–that is in money only. She had great wealth of heart, talent and spirit. I wish I had known her in her life time but then again I would love to know Alice Walker and she was from my hometown in Ga. Maybe one day I can meet her.

Thanks PBS. ” A People Without A History Will Die or Repeat It”
PBS: Thanks so much for this complete and candid profile of Zora Neale Hurston, an African-American woman writer, who was far before her time. What a pleasure it was to stumble across this “American Experience” episode tonight!
Thank you, thank you, and thank you! PBS has succeeded in presenting something good on many levels (historical, social, scientific, psychological, personal, economic, spiritual, musical, literary, political & intellectual!). I wish Ken Burns would follow your lead – do one of his great projects on black history w/ heroes, sheroes, scoundrels and regular folk that comprise the black community.
As you can tell, you have made one black woman very happy tonight. I will definitely purchase this film. Thanks again for an enjoyable lesson that is part of my own history!

I am highly upset. None of this footage is subtitled or captioned. I saw the end on PBS (it was captioned on the television) and wanted to show this to my students. Since I have seven deaf students, I won’t be showing the film. This is disgusting. ABC.com has promised to caption all its online material. Why is PBS, the government-funded educational organization, not doing the same?
joseph, the first two clips are silent footage recorded in the 1920s and 1940s.
