Zora Neale Hurston Museum

The Zora Neale Hurston National Museum of Fine Arts (The Hurston) will unveil the first exhibit of the 2008-2009 season on Saturday, September 13, 2008. Conversation with the World: Eatonville will profile the photographic expertise of artist and guest curator Lonnie Graham as he captures the history and essence of Eatonville and its residents through his photography. The town of Eatonville serves as the ideal setting for Graham’s exhibit as it holds the distinction of being the nation’s oldest incorporated African-American municipality.

This exhibit showcases Graham’s most recent conversations with the residents of the historic Eatonville community, featuring individuals from all walks of life and from a broad range of ages.
