How is life in Jacksonville different for Zora?

Hurston moved to Jacksonville by riverboat to attend school there. In Jacksonville is where she first started hearing that she was "a little colored girl." She took this as an infringement on her individual identity, but she was too busy having fun and exploring her curiosities to let her knowledge of racism afflict her.

She feels like she can be herself without anyone judging her in Eatonville but in Jacksonville, she gets judged and called this "little colored girl"

but when she is in Eatonville she is at this Jazz club and she just starts to dance and really feels her body start to come into the music and she is the only person dancing but yet she feels like she is loved and cared when she dances but she feels colored when thrown against a white background.
