'Brutal Imagination is a National Book Award-nominated poetry collection and an award-winning play about a White woman who fabricated and falsely accused a Black man, Mr. Zero, of murders that she herself committed. Based on real events, the story is an indictment of how the white imagination views Black men. Join the play’s author Cornelius Eady and Joe Morton, who portrays Mr. Zero in the original Off Broadway play and revisited the role for Audible’s audio production, for a conversation about the legacy and continued relevance of Brutal Imagination.' -- Chicago Humanities Festival
