Campus Racism 101 by Nikki Giovanni
The essay “Campus Racism” by Nikki Giovanni discusses racism that occurs to African Americans when they attend preponderantly white colleges. Nikki Giovanni initiates to tell why she enjoys her job as a black professor in a predominately white college. She begins to explain the reasons of why students shouldn’t feel less than enough to be black in a predominately white college. Being an African American in a predominately white college allows you to stand out and get others to see how smart and intelligent you really can be. Nikki Giovanni gives a compare and contrasts on how serious it is about learning and having the best of an education. For example, she gives the differences between being in prison and being college. “There both all the same but you will never experience, freedom or have the opportunities you get in college being incarcerated.”
