The Foundation

Zora Dust Tracks Museum & Humanities Center

Zora Neale Hurston Florida Education Foundation (ZNHFEF), also known as the Zora Neale Hurston Dust Track Museum and Humanities Center, has a very unique mission. Our organization is committed to promoting and preserving the local legacy of the world-renowned author and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston. We are a 501C3 non-profit organization, located in the Lincoln Park Community of Fort Pierce at 809 N 9th Street. 

  Recently, St. Lucie County transferred ownership of the Agape Center to the ZNHFEF. The Humanities Center is where Zora spent her final days before passing there in 1960.   The facility later served as a segregated nursing home and a senior daycare center for many years. Now, the ZNHFEF seeks to renovate this facility to create the Zora Neale Hurston Community Center and Museum.  Your annual financial provisions are needed to support the restoration of the facility to a world renowned Museum and Humanities Center and to preserve Ms. Hurston’s legacy in Fort Pierce, Florida and beyond. 

The ZNHFEF has a relationship with the National Religious Partnership for the Environment to beautify the Lincoln Park community.
