Acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni spoke to a capacity crowd on Feb. 22, 2020, at the Schwartz Center on the Emory University campus, telling stories and reading her poems. Giovanni is known for her activism poetry, especially concerning race, gender, self-pride, and love.

Giovanni has been an English professor at Virginia Tech since 1989 and has been a university distinguished professor there since 1999. She has received an honorary doctorate from more than 27 colleges and universities.

The event was hosted by the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library as part of the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library Reading Series, now in its 15th season. The reading was sponsored by the Hightower Fund, with support from Emory Library and Information Technology Services (LITS), and the Creative Writing Program at Emory.
