Glad she pointed out why Ice Cube and Kanye are fools. Charalame is so ridiculous too. Had Ice Cube met with the trump administration before the end of trump's time in office then that may have been understandable. However, Charalame, for Ice Cube to wait 2-3 weeks before election day to work for trump on a policy to help get trump re-elected when trump did nothing for Black people during his 4 yrs in office was a sellout move to weaken Black voter turnout.

I met Nikki G. when she was a community worker in Wilmington, Delaware. I was a newly trained Philly social worker who helped plan the first National Conference of Black Social Workers . It was held in Phila in the late sixties. Even then she was already well known for her poetry! She was “revolutionary“ , dynamic, inspiring, charismatic, and devoted to the cause! I continue to be a fan. I felt blessed to be able to introduce my children to her and her work several years later when they were pre-teens and admirers of Angela Davis.

Sometimes we tend to forget that it haven't even been 50 years since black people weren't allowed to walk the streets or enter the front doors of an establishment. When was America so GREAT for minorities? So Great that we sit wish to make it GREAT AGAIN?!

Right my mom was 12 when schools were integrated. My aunt is 4 years younger than my mom. She remembers being traumatized having to go to school with White kids who she felt didn't want her there. They are 70 and 66 now. In the late 70s my cousin played basketball for University of Maryland and when they played in the south there were places the team couldn't go bc of her. It was just recently made a law that we couldn't be discriminated for our hair. This racist crap brought to the surface should mean something to all poc.

It's a treat hearing from an Elders perspective we must seek understanding, innerstanding not agreement on everything they may say. The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more , than the blood of a martyr I feel like that quote holds true. As long as I've been aware words are indeed sword, the power of music, poetry, speech have the power to shift entire mindsets. Clearly were still trying to figure out a recipe between Garvey , Ms Giovanni, Granville T Woods and many other prolific Original Women and Men...I think if we pull a lil bit from each we may figure out a proper solution. Great conversation and Peace to the lovely Ms Giovanni!

#505 I have loved Nikki for 4 decades. As a teenage girl her poetry, church, and my grandmother's house were my escape from an abusive household. As a young women her poetry helped me express my passion, my hope, and my regret. And as a writer now on the other side of 50, her poetry is like a photo album of my life. I turn the pages and smile at the memories of her words. This interview was my morning cup of coffee, my meditation at daybreak, my smile in the mirror. Thank you Nikki. And thank you CTG/AG and the BC. ♥️

I like and respect how she said..."it was mean and it hurt my feelings when Cube met with Trump", what a clear way to express the feelings of disappointment and anger expressed to Cube about his ideal attempt to help the Black Community.

30:00 Love it in the pot. I’m from New Orleans and learned how to cook through my elders, specifically my father. I nursed my children, was a Marine Corps wife went to school at night, online and weekends. When I went back to work I used the crockpot to feed my family healthy homemade foods. They’re so healthy now and it offset the toxins in the earth.

Immigrants aren’t just taking the “dirty jobs” they’re also being paid less for union construction jobs in black areas that used to go black men. Don’t tell me black men don’t want good paying union jobs in construction, plumbing or as an electrician.
