Famous quotes containing the word giovanni:

    ...I really hope no white person ever has cause to write about me
    because they never understand Black love is Black wealth and they’ll
    probably talk about my hard childhood and never understand that
    all the while I was quite happy.
    —Nikki Giovanni (b. 1943)
