Publisher's Summary
Every Tongue Got to Confess is an extensive volume of African American folklore that Zora Neale Hurston collected on her travels through the Gulf States in the late 1920s. The bittersweet and often hilarious tales, which range from longer narratives about God, the Devil, white folk, and mistaken identity to witty one-liners, reveal attitudes about faith, love, family, slavery, race, and community.
Together, this collection of nearly 500 folktales weaves a vibrant tapestry that celebrates African American life in the rural South and represents a major part of Zora Neale Hurston's literary legacy.

Narration. Ruby Dee and Ossie Davies are amazing.
The stories all feel very alive. Hilarious but filled with wisdoms. Great listen and also insightful on Black lives in the US rural south. Enjoy and laugh!
