I just wanted to honor and remember this great human being Nikki Giovanni. Nikki Giovanni is an author, activist, poet, beautiful black woman, and the list goes on. She was also a professor at Virginia Tech for 35 years. I am just thankful for her life and all that she brought to the table. I was fascinated by her interviewed conversation with James Baldwin. In this interview Nikki Giovanni asked James Baldwin “is it much to ask of the black man to lie to her.” In this statement, Giovanni was saying that black men go on their jobs and life as if there happy and come home and be angry at their wives. Giovanni asks that the black man acts happy with the Black woman even if they’re lying. She has a lot of good thought-provoking work. She was such a great poet and activist. Her life will be missed. Thank Nikki Giovanni for all that you’ve done.
