Poet, activist, author and icon, Nikki Giovanni offers her unique unflinching perspectives on everything from politics to poetry in these contemporary times. Her unapologetic condemnation of Donald Trump is as shocking as her affectionate loving memories of her grandmother are soothing.
Black History in the Making: Reclaiming our Past, Re-defining our Future, was produced in collaboration with the Pacifica Covid Task Force, the production team of Covid Race and Democracy, Pacifica Network Stations and affiliates throughout the country.
