Jazz 88.3 Supports Oceanside Public Library's The Big Read on 2/2

In honor of Black History Month, the Library will host the second Big Read program in Oceanside from February 1st through the 29th. Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston was the book selected to be the focus of the month long program.

 

Jazz 88.3 will kick off the event on February 2nd with live music from the Harlem Renaissance with performances from the San Diego African American Storytellers Association at the Sunshine Brooks Theatre. Free copies of the book will be given away at the event.

 

Other events throughout the month include: 

• February 4 - Art Reception at the Oceanside Museum of Art featuring African American quilts from the collection of Dr. Maude Southwell Wahlman.
• February 9 - A live theatrical performance of Zora by the American Place Theatre Company at El Camino High School's Truax Theatre.
• February 18 - Special speaking engagement by Lucy Hurston, niece of Zora Neale Hurston and author of Speak, So You Can Speak Again. 

There will also be a living history presentation, African American genealogy research, a Southern "Hat Stroll", a sculpture exhibition, book discussions, films and more.  All programs are free and open to the public.

The accompanying program for children, called The Little Read, will feature programs and storytimes around the book Zora Hurston and the Chinaberry Tree by William Miller. 

Zora Neale Hurston was one of the greatest contributors to African American literature.  Hurston (1891-1960) was a folklorist, anthropologist and author during the Harlem Renaissance, and her fictional and factual accounts of black heritage remain unparalleled.  Of Hurston's four novels and more than 50 published short stories, plays and essays, she is best known for her 1937 novel Their Eyes Were Watching God, which presents Janie Mae Crawford's growth from a voiceless teenage girl into a woman who takes charge of her own destiny.

The National Endowment for the Arts presents The Big Read in cooperation with Arts Midwest.  The Big Read in Oceanside is funded through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, with contributions from the Friends of the Oceanside Public Library and the Oceanside Public Library Foundation, with generous support from many community partners.
