Memory Of Hurston

I should think it rather interesting to get to know this Zora Neale Hurston better moving forward.

"President Roosevelt could extend his four freedoms to some people right here in America before he takes it all aboard [sic, presumably for "abroad"], and, no doubt, he would do it too, if it would bring in the same amount of glory. ... He can call names across the ocean, but he evidently has not the courage to speak even softly at home. Take away the ocean and he simmers right down. ... Our country is so busy playing "fence" to the mobsters that the cost in human suffering cannot be considered yet." 

Libertarians have claimed her as one of their own. She's even been called "Black libertarian."

Why not?
