Here we are March 2, and so not thirty-one straight days--but I am determined to have 31 Black History Month posts!
To close out my BHM feature, I want to give the floor over to my respected elder, Nikki Giovanni. She enacts exactly what I have spoken of before here during my 31Days feature, that of "bearing witness" to history. She is a couple years younger than my own parents and parents-in-law: As such, she represents the generation I need to attend to if I am to grow into and up to elderhood.
In a recent Booknotes feature, Nikki Giovanni (and Professor Giovanni, from Virginia Tech) spoke on a range of topics and experiences--some that I have covered here over the last month and a half or so. It's worth the 59 minutes out of your life to watch the video broadcast, but alternately the entire transcript is available.
Enjoy!
