More quotes by Nikki Grimes
When I think of the Harlem Renaissance, I think of bright colors, and bold, dynamic art. African American artists of the period were, in large measure, breaking out of the constrictions white society had set for them. They were claiming and remaking their own images, and doing so in bold and striking ways.
Nikki Grimes
I'm an artist...The difference is that I don't tell anybody. I refuse to give them new reasons to laugh at me.
Nikki Grimes
For I am coconut / and the heart of me / is sweeter / than you know.
Nikki Grimes
Each of us is tied, in some fashion, to the past. We are all part of a continuum.
