Boswell Book Company, America's Black Holocaust Museum, and Niche Book Bar present a ticketed evening with National Book Award-winning author Imani Perry at ABHM. Perry appears with the paperback edition of her latest work, Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People. The author of books such as South to America turns her attention to the color blue and offers a meditation on its fascinating role in Black history and culture. Perry will be in conversation with book and culture influencer Cree Myles.
