If one of the key points here is that simply *knowing more* about what's happened and happening has value, please do also be attentive to the advocacy toolkit shared by @humanitiesall.bsky.social --which includes resources for info about the NEH in states and communities. www.nehforall.org

‘It’s incumbent that you see a future. If you don’t have a dream fake it. Because what the hell do I care about the truth. I care if you’re there. Because I love you, I get the least of you…and I’m saying fake it with me’

Nikki Giovanni was so real for this—and for all the words she left us. RIP💔🕊️

Some are seeing references to Nikki Giovanni on the skyline and would like to learn more about her and her contemporaries. May I suggest this book as a companion to books that may borrow or purchase.
