Book Video Trailer: The Strange Case of Ruby McCollum - By Zora Neale Hurston

In 1952, the Pittsburgh Courier hired Zora Neale Hurston to cover the trial of Ruby McCollum, a wealthy African-American wife who shot and killed her white lover, a prominent physician and recently elected state senator. Hurston dug deep into the story and eventually found that the case - filled with a scandalous interracial affair, drugs, and a fortune built on illicit gambling - had all the drama and varied play of human emotions that fill the pages of great literature from Plutarch to Shakespeare. Now, in this richly illustrated volume, Hurston admirers can read the story told through her voice and see the people and places that she saw.
