by Imani Perry
About the Book: Imani Perry explores the deep cultural and emotional ties between the history of Black people and the color blue. From indigo cloths traded during slavery to blues music’s blend of sorrow and resilience, Perry weaves personal narrative, history, and art into a powerful meditation on race. Drawing on symbols like blue skies, water, and flowers, she crafts a poignant, original examination of Black identity that captures both the pain and beauty of the human experience.
