Thanks to Saint Louis University’s Cross Cultural Center and African-American Studies, renowned poet/author/activist and educator Nikki Giovanni will return to the St. Louis area this Wednesday (Apr. 21).

Sharing her words, knowledge, and wisdom, Giovanni will address the intersections of racism, sexism, and oppression while challenging SLU

and the St. Louis community to be more inclusive, loving, and equitable.

One of the most widely-read American poets, she prides herself on being “a Black American, a daughter, a mother, a professor of English.” Giovanni remains as determined and committed as ever to the fight for civil rights and equality.

This event is free and open to the public.

SLU community members may pick up TWO early entrance tickets with a valid

campus ID from the Student Involvement Center (BSC 319).

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. for ticket holders and 6:50 p.m. for general

audience members.
