About

In celebration of Black Music Month, the Music Division in partnership with Live! at the Library welcomed Dr. I. Augustus Durham for a lecture followed by conversation with Music Reference Specialist Morgan Davis. Durham’s lecture entitled “Marvin Gaye: Melancholy and Genius in Black Culture and Media” charted a path through history to discuss the influence of George Gershwin on Marvin Gaye’s film score to the Blaxploitation film Trouble Man. His lecture drew heavily from his latest book, “Stay Black and Die: On Melancholy and Genius (Durham, N.C.: Duke University Press, 2023).”
