Program Description:
As part of its Wright Conversations series, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History presents Nikki Giovanni, one of this country’s most widely read poets and one of America’s most renowned poets worldwide. Her poem, “Knoxville, Tennessee,” is arguably the single literary work most often associated with that city. Giovanni has received numerous awards in the course of her career, including seven Image Awards from the N.A.A.C.P., more than two-dozen honorary degrees, the first Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award, the Langston Hughes Medal for Poetry, and the Carl Sandburg Literary Award; additionally, Oprah Winfrey recognized her in 2005 as one of twenty-five “Living Legends.” She continues to teach, write, and publish books. Her most recent collection, “Make Me Rain,” was released in October of 2020.

Nikki is amazing! I love her. She is wise and hilarious and says it as it is. We need more of this. ❤
Love, love, Nikki since age 17! Old now, I am now.
Discovered her poetry when I was in high school, early 70s. I sill have old paperbacks from 1974. I remember meeting her at a lecture she gave in Indianapolis in the 90s. So glad I learned of this talk. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing and we're so glad you enjoyed this talk!
Like fine wine, Nikki just gets better with time...
We couldn't agree more!
thank you...

Nikki Giovanni🌹 ❤🙏🏾❤️
I met her in a presentation at Hampton in the seventies. And she was just as bold, clear, and confident!
It's so great being here in her presence. I have loved her for over 40 years. She sets better and better.
I feel the same way!😢
Saw her recently n NYC!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love her candidness!
