15. I just watched an interview of Alice Walker (The Color Purple). She spoke of her mother,

and what a proud gorgeous woman she was. Ms. Walker spoke of the time her mother dressed in donated clothes to go to town for some free food for the family. That she waited in line, only to get to the front to have the woman distributing the food turn her away, refusing to give her the food she needed for her family, saying she was dressed too fine to need "hand-outs". Ms. Walker said she never forgot nor forgave that woman for humiliating her mother. She said she learned VooDoo and performed it on the now-deceased woman. Alice Walker said that she learned VooDoo (HooDoo) from reading Zora Neal Hurston

A little about Ms. Hurston from wikipedia.

Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891[1]:17[2]:5 – January 28, 1960) was an American author, anthropologist, and filmmaker. She portrayed racial struggles in the early-1900s American South and published research on hoodoo.[3] The most popular of her four novels is Their Eyes Were Watching God, published in 1937. She also wrote more than 50 short stories, plays, and essays.

Hurston was born in Notasulga, Alabama, and moved with her family to Eatonville, Florida, in 1894. She later used Eatonville as the setting for many of her stories. It is now the site of the "Zora! Festival", held each year in her honor.[4]
