The Importance of History in a Time of Erasure
Friday, February 27: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Maplewood Memorial Library - Community Room
Imani Perry visits Maplewood Library to celebrate Black History.
Free and open to the public. No registration needed.
Imani Perry’s work reflects the deeply complex history of Black thought, art, and imagination. Says Perry, “If there were one impact I’d like my work to have, it would be that people would cease talking about African American history and culture in terms of deprivation or inadequacy and actually acknowledge its depth and complexity and beauty.”
Perry’s books will be for sale and signing.
