Last night at OSU -- for free! -- there was a Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration featuring Nikki Giovanni. She read a few of her poems and spoke.
There was also a gospel choir that really brought down the house!
And there was a fraternity step routine, a local soul singer, another spoken word poet, and a few local speakers too.
Nikki Giovanni was an entertaining speaker and her poems were excellent, which should go without saying.
She said something that I was dubious about in her speech:
"As long as there are white people there will be racism. It just comes with the territory."
Thoughts?
