The evening will feature National Book award winning poet\u00a0Nikky\u00a0Finney and a chance to chat with the curators of Hear Me Now in the galleries. Refreshments provided.\n \nNikky\u00a0Finney\u00a0has spent her career illuminating the Southern cultural and political heritage of Black people in ways that resonate throughout the country and world. Her ongoing legacy of poignant expression, indomitable truth, and devotion to social justice has enriched the country and world. In her career of more than 30 years, Finney has written six books and hundreds of poems and essays that explore and confront the experiences that have shaped life in the South for herself and countless other African Americans. Her most recent book, Love Child\u2019s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry (Northwestern University Press, 2020) is an enduring love song to her father and 400 years of African American fight and ingenuity. Finney is Carolina Distinguished Professor at USC in Columbia where she is also Director of the Ernest A. Finney Jr. Cultural Arts Center, a 21st century arts and cultural center named for her father, an exciting endeavor deeply planted in the twin soils of creativity and Black cultural expression.\n \nThis program is part \"Free\u00a0To Speak!\u00a0A Convening on Art, Slavery and\u00a0Reconciliation\", a 2-day celebration of Black creativity, agency, and\u00a0memory.
