Prof. Ajuan Mance of Mills College joins Ms. Gomez in conversation on these topics and Jewelle’s new play “Leaving the Blues,” about Blues singer-songwriter Alberta Hunter, which opens March 3 at the New Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. Ms. Gomez will read from both works. Prof. Mance will also read from her new book Before Harlem, a reconstruction of African American literature before the Harlem Renaissance.
