View the MLK 2025 event Black Feeling Black Talk: A Celebration of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Nikki Giovanni held Thursday, January 16th, 2025 at 5:30pm in the RISD auditorium. The RISD community mourns the passing of Nikki Giovanni, poet, author, activist and educator. World-renowned and one of the foremost authors of the Black Arts Movement, Giovanni, through her work, explored race, gender, sexuality, politics and the Black family. Her career, spanning seven decades, manifested in a prolific body of work ranging from poetry, essays and nonfiction to recordings and children’s literature. In 2002, Giovanni’s poetry graced the Smithsonian Institution’s first major exhibition honoring Dr. King titled In the Spirit of Martin: the Living Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. In her introduction to the catalogue she urged, This is a sacred poem…open your arms… turn your palms up… feel the Spirit of Greatness… and be redeemed Planned as RISD’s 13th MLK keynote speaker, Nikki Giovanni will be counted among previous keynote speakers who have left their indelible mark on our community. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Committee posthumously salutes Nikki Giovanni for her distinguished artistry, her groundbreaking achievements and her unwavering vision toward a society imbued with freedom and justice for all. May her passion, poetry and power continue to inspire us and generations to come. Please click here to reflect more on Nikki Giovanni’s life, legacy and impact.
