Nikki Giovanni to Headline King celebration

Once called "the Princess of Black Poetry," Nikki Giovanni will be the featured speaker at Agnes Scott's College's Martin Luther King, Jr., convocation on Wednesday, Jan. 26.

In addition to her address, she will also give a poetry reading on Tuesday, Jan. 25.

"Writing is about character; it's not about content. It's about who you are," says Giovanni.

Most of Giovanni's 20 books are still in print and include Black Feeling, Black Talk/Black Judgment, The Women and the Men and Cotton Candy on a Rainy Day. In addition to her books of poetry, she has also published several children's books.
