Zora Neale
Hurston began working for the Work Projects Administration in Florida
in May of 1938.
In August
of 1939, Hurston went to Cross City, Florida to interview workers of the
Aycock and Lindsay turpentine camp.
(Federal
Writers' Project staff photographer Robert Cook accompanied the team to
Cross City, but those photographs were lost before they could be preserved
by the Library of Congress. These photographs of the turpentine camps are
from the collections of the State Archives of Florida.) |
