 And welcome to Books That Shaped America, our C-SPAN series that looks at how books throughout our history have influenced who we are today. In partnership with the Library of Congress, this 10-week series has been exploring different topics, eras, and viewpoints. And we're glad you're with us for this look through history. Tonight, it's the novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God, written in 1937 by Zora Neale Hurston.
