SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston: Stories from the Harlem Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nCo-presented by Litquake and MoAD\n\nIn 1925\, Barnard student Zora Neale Hurston—the sole black student at the college—was living in New York\, “desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world.” During this period\, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life\, transforming her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later\, this singular talent is recognized as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period. \nReleased just in time for Black History Month\, Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick(Amistad Press) unveils an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration\, gender and class\, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume\, they include eight of Hurston’s “lost” Harlem stories\, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives. These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting\, satiric humor\, as well as more serious tales reflective of the cultural currents of Hurston’s world. All are timeless classics that enrich our understanding and appreciation of this exceptional writer’s voice and her contributions to America’s literary traditions. \nWith readings and discussion from UC Berkeley African American studies professor Chiyuma Elliott\, poet and CCA professor Tonya M. Foster\, and bestselling novelist Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Moderated by writer and radio journalist Jenee Darden. Audience discussion and book sales to follow. $10 general\, $5 student/senior\, free for MoAD members \n*NOTE: This event will be recorded for Litquake’s Lit Cast podcast\n \n\n\n\nModerators \n\n \nJenee Darden\nJeneé Darden is an award-winning journalist\, public speaker\, mental health advocate and proud Oakland native.

SUMMARY:My Life\, My Stories / Real life. Told by SF seniors.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of learning and listening\, hosted by My Life\, My Stories! The theme is FAMILY. \nMy Life\, My Stories is a local non-profit that preserves the life legacies of older adults in our community. We match a volunteer with one older adult\, and over the course of several months\, the senior’s memories are recorded and transcribed into memoirs. We focus on helping underserved populations in the Bay Area including minorities\, immigrants\, homeless seniors\, vets\, and LGBTQ elders. \nOur volunteers hear inspiring\, heartbreaking\, and touching stories that\, otherwise\, would be left untold and lost forever. My Life\, My Stories wants to give older adults a public platform to share their amazing memories with the young SF community in a live event. You may be surprised with what you learn and how much you can relate to someone who may be decades older than you. \nCheck back soon for bios of each of our speakers. All ticket sales go directly back to the organization. Purchase your ticket here.
