How did creativity and artistry influence the Black American cultural landscape in the mid to late 1900s? How has that artistic demand changed over the course of the years? On this special series episode of “The Future of Democracy” we sit with the author of “Love Child’s Hotbed of Occasional Poetry: Poems and Artifacts,” Nikky Finney. She’ll share her insights on how she used love and positivity to grow up through the hardships faced by Black Americans and how her artistry has led to her view of the world.
