Discussion
Discuss and compare Zora Neale Hurston's "How It Feels to be Colored Me" and Marita Bonner's "On Being Young -A Woman -And Colored." How do these women's perspectives on being African American and female differ and complement one another? What particular aspects of being African American and female during the 1920s do these women explicate and reveal? Feel free to bring in other works from this era for relevant comparison.
