In this interview with Dr. Nikki Giovanni we hear her work described and defined in the context of her life shaped by meaningful role models and events.

Nikki Giovanni is one of the best-known African-American poets who reached prominence during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Her unique and insightful poetry testifies to her own evolving awareness and experiences: from child to young woman, from naive college freshman to seasoned civil rights activist, from daughter to mother.
