Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Issues of race in America are rarely, well, black and white. So it falls to writers like Touré, author of Who’s Afraid of Post-Blackness, to help unpack and understand the seemingly infinite sides to the racial issues that continue to affect life in this country. In his book, Touré, a contributor to Time, Ebony, and Rolling Stone and a correspondent for MSNBC, addresses the work of contemporary creatives whose work is closely linked to race.
One of those creatives is Rashid Johnson, whose racially charged work is on display at the Miami Art Museum through November 4. So now, as Johnson’s exhibit reminds the city of its own ever-evolving black culture, is the perfect time for Touré to lead a discussion of post-blackness at Books & Books (265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables) as part of MAM’s Reading Art series.
