They Want Our Rhythm, but Not Our Blues: African American Innovation through Pop Culture at the Vashon Library

For adults.
Reflecting on music, sports, language, food and even hair, this talk calls audiences to recognize the blues that made African American popular culture. It serves as a guide to appreciating the art of Black pop culture by understanding how and why African American culture was created, and when and where it appears across multiple platforms of popular culture.
Dr. LaToya Brackett is an associate professor of African American studies at the University of Puget Sound, where she also serves as a member of the leadership team for the Race & Pedagogy Institute.
