- 3402: Down Goes Hurston
- Down Goes Hurston The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920’s is a great time for black artists; it is a rebirth of art, music, books and poetry. In Zora Neale Hurston’s novel Their Eyes Were Watching God Janie, the protagonist, is treated kindly for a black women.

The reading of books in their society is completely forbidden and if someone is suspected of even owning a book, the firefighters are dispatched ...

He even admits that he "[has] no spur/ To prick the sides of [his ... And falls on th’other" (Act I, sc. 7). Despite many other good reasons for overthrowing a king, such as for the good of the state or if the king is infringing on the people’s rights, MacBeth claims only selfish intentions.
