2022 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Keynote Speaker Dr. Nikki Giovanni
The Center for Multicultural Student Services, in partnership with Madison Vision Series, invite you to join us for the MLK 2022 Keynote Speaker Dr. Nikki Giovanni. The program will take place in Wilson Hall at 6pm. Dr. Nikki Giovanni is one of this country’s most widely read poets and one of the U.S.’s most renowned poets world-wide. Her poem, “Knoxville, Tennessee,” is arguably the single literary work most often associated with that city. Dr. Giovanni has received numerous awards during her career, including seven Image Awards from the N.A.A.C.P., more than two-dozen honorary degrees, the first Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award, the Langston Hughes Medal for Poetry, and the Carl Sandburg Literary Award; additionally, Oprah Winfrey recognized her in 2005 as one of twenty-five “Living Legends.” She continues to teach, write, and publish books, the most recent of which is A Good Cry. Her newest collection, Make Me Rain, was released in October of 2020.
Our theme for the MLK 2022 Celebration Week is The Story of U.S.: Reclaiming our Past, Righting our Present, Creating our Future. We hope you will join us and we look forward to having you at this event!
