SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Black in Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People
DESCRIPTION:by Imani Perry \nAbout 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.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Once Upon a Prime: The Wondrous Connections between Mathematics and Literature
DESCRIPTION:by Sarah B. Hart \nAbout the Book: Dr. Sarah Hart argues that literature and mathematics complement each other in illustrating humanity’s journey. Books like Moby Dick\, Alice in Wonderland\, and Jurassic Park feature mathematical ideas that deepen their meaning. Through humor and insight\, this exploration reveals how recognizing math in literature can enrich our appreciation of both. The discussion will also tie these themes to the stunning visual experience of Leo Villareal: Interstellar\, connecting narrative\, numbers\, and art in compelling ways.
