A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK FROM: Oprah Daily, Business Insider , Marie Claire, The Seattle Times , Lit Hub , Bustle , and New York Magazine’s Vulture Introduction by New York Times bestselling author Henry Louis Gates Jr. Spanning more than 35 years of work, the first comprehensive collection of essays, criticism, and articles by the legendary author of the Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston, showcasing the evolution of her distinctive style as an archivist and author.

“One of the greatest writers of our time.”—Toni Morrison

You Don’t Know Us Negroes is the quintessential gathering of provocative essays from one of the world’s most celebrated writers, Zora Neale Hurston. Spanning more than three decades and penned during the backdrop of the birth of the Harlem Renaissance, Montgomery bus boycott, desegregation of the military, and school integration, Hurston’s writing articulates the beauty and authenticity of Black life as only she could.

Collectively, these essays showcase the roles enslavement and Jim Crow have played in intensifying Black people’s inner lives and culture rather than destroying it. She argues that in the process of surviving, Black people re-interpreted every aspect of American culture—"modif[ying] the language, mode of food preparation, practice of medicine, and most certainly religion.” White supremacy prevents the world from seeing or completely recognizing Black people in their full humanity and Hurston made it her job to lift the veil and reveal the heart and soul of the race. These pages reflect Hurston as the controversial figure she was—someone who stated that feminism is a mirage and that the integration of schools did not necessarily improve the education of Black students.

Also covered is the sensational trial of Ruby McCollum, a wealthy Black woman convicted in 1952 for killing her lover, a white doctor. Demonstrating the breadth of this revered and influential writer’s work, You Don’t Know Us Negroes and Other Essays is an invaluable chronicle of a writer’s development and a window into her world and mind.

Safe, Comfortable, and Eco-Friendly Summer Sandals for Kids
Searching for the perfect pair of summer sandals for my child can often feel like a daunting task, but the Swalker Children's Soft Jelly Sandals have truly exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, safety is paramount when it comes to children's footwear, and these sandals deliver on all fronts. The closed-toe design provides ample protection against stubbed toes and sharp objects, giving me peace of mind as my little one explores the outdoors. Additionally, the anti-slip sole offers excellent traction on various surfaces, preventing slips and falls even on wet or uneven terrain. Comfort is another crucial factor, especially during long days of play. These sandals feature a soft jelly material that is gentle on my child's feet, eliminating any discomfort or rubbing that can often accompany other types of shoes. The easy-wear design allows my child to slip them on and off effortlessly, promoting independence and convenience for both of us. What sets these sandals apart is their eco-friendly construction. Made from recyclable materials, they not only provide exceptional quality but also contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet—a feature that I greatly appreciate as a conscious consumer and parent. Overall, the Swalker Children's Soft Jelly Sandals are a summer staple for any parent looking to prioritize safety, comfort, and sustainability for their child. With their durable construction and thoughtful design, they have quickly become my go-to choice for warm-weather adventures.

Super soft and adorable!
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Macaroon
Bought these shoes for my daughter as an alternative to the classic jellies! The are butter soft! She’s been wearing them consistently for weeks now and not a single blister as formed. (Unlike when she wore the classic style ones) I’m even buying my niece a pair for her birthday because she is now jealous! The color is perfect for any outfit or occasion. They can be dressed up or down which makes them the ideal shoe! And of course super easy to clean which is of course a major factor in kids’ shoes!

LOVE these shoes
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Macaroon
Absoultely LOVE these! So easy to wear for my 3 year old and put on. They are sturdy and could be rinsed off. They were very comfortable for her and left no marks on her skin. Warning to parents, if your kid steps on your foot it hurts like hell because they are like spikes under the shoe. GREAT for traction and running, but man it hurts. I will purchase more next summer. Great price, great fit, and lightweight.

Cute but run BIG!
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Macaroon
I can't get the jellies from Children's Place anymore. They are causing blisters. Wanted to try these but boy, they run HUGE. My daughters sneakers are Toddler sz 8. They are starting to get tight. So got a 9 in these. WAY big all around. So got an 8. Still, too big but will save those for next Summer. Would try a 7 but the price rose. Seem soft though and I like the brown color! Would recommend but sizing is difficult. Not just in length but all around they are bigger.
