Greetings, AAS 200,
In 2011, former University of Kentucky Professor and Poet, Nikky Finney won the National Book Award for Poetry. The title of her award winning book is Head Off & Split.
We watched a clip of her acceptance speech in class. Some in our classroom community were very interested in the content of the speech and how it framed our understandings of African American Studies.
If you have any additional considerations, comments or questions, please post them on our blog. The link to Prof. Finney's acceptance speech is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2q15iiL79g
Todays Powerpoint (AAS 200 -1) can be found on the UK Blackboard site.
Enjoy your weekend!
Yours truly,
Dr. Hill
