The event that took place that actually changed Hurston's perspective of herself and her color is her leaving home, a place known as her safe space.
This was significant as it actually took place when she needed to go to school to learn.
Perspective actually refers to a point of view. It refers to one's position on seeing something. Perspective helps one to understand something his or her own way.
We can see that Hurston's perspective of herself and her color changed when she left home to go to the outside world.
To support my answer, here is an excerpt:
"But changes came in the family when I was thirteen, and I was sent to school in Jacksonville. I left Eatonville, the town of the oleanders, a Zora. When I disembarked from the river-boat at Jacksonville, she was no more. It seemed that I had suffered a sea change. I was not Zora of Orange County any more, I was now a little colored girl. I found it out in certain ways. In my heart as well as in the mirror, I became a fast brown--warranted not to rub nor run." (An excerpt from "How It Feels To Be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston)
