Event Information

Harlem Renaissance authors Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes are two of Westfield’s most famous former residents. But did you know that the two friends collaborated on a play called Mule Bone, which wasn’t produced for another 60 years? Their relationship and collaborative efforts are documented in a recent book Zora and Langston: A Story of Friendship and Betrayal (2019), by Yuval Taylor. Join us for a special black history book discussion of Zora and Langston.

Copies of the book are available to be borrowed for the book discussion at the library’s front desk.
