Zora Neale Hurston's festival

Yesterday, I went to the Zora Neale Hurston's festival in Eatonville which is a small African-American community located in the north of Winter Park.
For the 1st time, I've taken the bus which is not as horrible as American people had described it!! For sure, everyone with money will drive a car here that's why they overlokk public transportation. the good point is that now I feel able to travel every place alone. So, next step: Orlando downtown!!Well, lest's talk about Zora Neale: she was a famous African-American writer who died in the 60's, she had made anthropoligical studies and her books deal with very different subjects: voodoo, African people casual stories...Contrary to other African-American authors, she didn't try to positively portray people of her community, she just wanted to be right even if it was totally subjective... but in that sense, she has been a pionneer in auto-ethnography!!
