Last night, the 2025-26 BABEL season continued as we welcomed Imani Perry, author of the global phenomenon Black In Blues: How a Color Tells the Story of My People, to the Kleinhans stage.
Inspired by Imani Perry’s moving work, Just Buffalo invites you to pause and reflect on your own “blue story.” In the world of literature, art, and life, blue is never just a color.

As part of our Civil Writes Project, we are seeking meditations on the many shades of this experience.
