12:30-1:30PM Lunch talk (Armory)- Adam: Portrait of a Queen: The Legacy of Norma Miller

"If you ain't got a horse, ride a cow!"

Many of us know Norma Miller as the undisputed Queen of Swing and revered member of the Savoy Ballrooms "Whitey's Lindy Hoppers.” But a more in depth look at her life and legacy reveal a story of resilience, artistic excellence and unrelenting self determination against a backdrop of misogyny, racism and systemic oppression. It’s not only what Norma achieved throughout her life that is truly remarkable, but even more inspiring is how she did it. In this talk Adam will share insights and inspiration from his friendship and mentorship (since the age of 12) from the one and only Queen of Swing – Norma Miller.
