National Book Award–winning author Imani Perry discusses her latest work, Black in Blues, a meditation on the color blue and its profound place in Black history and culture. Perry traces blue’s deep resonance — from indigo cloths in the transatlantic slave trade to the brilliance of blues music — to reflect on how Blackness and blueness are intertwined. Join Perry for this poignant, vivid exploration of race, history, and the human spirit.
