The Center for Black Diaspora is excited to host an event featuring discussing the theme of Black Imagination with Dr. Corey Miles. Dr. Miles is an ethnographer of the Black American South and an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology and Department of Africana Studies at Tulane University and the author of Vibe: The Sound and Feeling of Black Life in the American South. He provides a rich narration of a region whose music incites powerful re-clamations of the soul, modes of creativity, and a radical imagination into the power of emotion. This event is a part of an ongoing series for the Center to discuss and celebrate themes in the recent film, "Sinners." We hope you can join us for this impactful conversation!
