Where is Zora?
Alice Walker was on a full on quest to finding more about Zora Neale Hurston. She went to Hurstons hometown and got straight to business. Walker visited a bank where she indeed found Hurstons real niece. She was getting closer and closer. Walker went to the cemetery and risked her life, and getting in trouble to find Hurstons grave site. Walker contacted some of Hurstons "friends" and got a lot of information that she didn't think she would receive. Like the fact that Hurston liked to eat, and she was a fat woman? Yeah, Walker found everything she was looking for. Walker takes so much pride into what Zora Neale Hurston wrote, and it makes her upset that no one really knows who she is. She feels they share a common bound, them being the same ethnicity.
