Join the International African American Museum (IAAM), in collaboration with Buxton Books, for an engaging conversation with National Book Award-winning author Imani Perry about her latest work, Black In Blues, releasing on January 28, 2025.
Named by TIME Magazine as ‘one of the most anticipated books of 2025‘, Black In Blues delves into the profound connection between Blackness and the color blue, tracing its roots from the indigo cloths of West Africa to the creation of blues music. Through art, history, and personal narrative, she examines how blue evokes both hope and melancholy, illuminating its significance in Black culture and identity.
Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion about Perry’s creative process and how Black in Blues redefines the intersections of race, memory, and resilience.
