The 27th Annual Zora Neale Hurston Festival of the Arts and Humanities

It is with great pleasure that Rollins College is collaborating with The Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, Inc. on the continued effort to keep Zora Neale Hurston’s vision of educating the students on the African American Culture and to continue to unite and engage in the community. For the past 26 years, the P.E.C. has hosted the ZORA! Festival of the Arts and Humanities that consists of a series of events globally. This year’s theme will be “Reflecting on the Global Legacy of Zora Neale Hurston on her 125th Birthday.” On January 26th, 2017, Rollins College will have the opportunity to be a part of this great effort by hosting the “Communities Conference: Civic Conversations Concerning 21st Century American Life in Communities of Color.” This event will be a partnership between the Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, Inc. and Rollins College.

The success of this event depends on the participation of volunteers to assist with tasks throughout the day of the event. We ask to please take in consideration your schedules when signing up for the role of volunteer is going to be very important and we would truly need all volunteers to be at their posts the entire times that they have committed to.

Thank you in advance for your commitment to support our purpose to promote education at our event and assisting us to turn Zora Neale Hurston’s visions to reality!
