This special event will feature a lively filmed discussion between Dr. Black and Dr. Dancie, exploring the themes of the book, the importance of Black history, and the ways in which literature can inspire change. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session, get their copies of Black on Black signed, and connect with a community of readers and thinkers.

Light bites will be served by Chef Kitura-All About the Minis, Drink Sponsor Rum Shaker, Official Book Seller 44th & 3rd Book Seller, Live Entertainment/ Jazz Band, Arkose and Violinist Jayna Burton. The evening will be filled with laughter, learning, and inspiration. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate Black history, culture, and the transformative power of stories.

Through his conversation with Dr. Kiana Dancie, a powerhouse in her own right, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the themes that shape Black on Black: identity, family, love, and the enduring legacy of Black history.

This event isn’t just about listening—it’s about engaging. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share your thoughts, and connect with others who are passionate about literature and social change.
