The Illinois Writers' Project, represented one of the few racially integrated project sites. The Chicago project employed Arna Bontemps, an established voice of the Harlem Renaissance, and helped to launch the literary careers of African-American writers such as Richard Wright, Margaret Walker, Katherine Dunham, and Frank Yerby. The Virginia Negro Studies Project employed 16 African American writers and culminated in the publication of "The Negro in Virginia (1940)." Notably, it included photographs by Robert McNeill, now remembered as a groundbreaking African American photographer. The unpublished works of African American writer Zora Neale Hurston, who was employed by the Florida Writers' Project, was compiled years after her death in "Go Gator and Muddy the Water: Writings by Zora Neale Hurston from the Federal Writers' Project".
