Sun. 02/15 11a: Imani Perry, professor at the Center for African-American Studies of Princeton University and a faculty associate in the law and public affairs program there. Her scholarly works include: Prophets of the Hood: Politics and Poetics in Hip Hop, and More Beautiful and More Terrible: the Embrace and Transcendence of Racial Inequality in the United States.
Imani Perry is a scholar of culture, race, law — and hip hop; she acknowledges wise voices who say that we will never get to the promised land of racial equality. But she also sees that extraordinary things have happened and keep happening in our history. Her question is, how do we prepare for and precipitate them?
