No, Tea Cake, Mrs. Turner's husband in "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston, is not black. He is described as a light-skinned man of mixed race. Mrs. Turner, on the other hand, desires that Janie marry a lighter-skinned man in order to have "better" children.

Though it is never expressly stated in the novel, Mrs. Turner's husband is assumed to be an African American, given that interracial marriage would have been illegal at the time (two generations after slavery ended).
