Nikki Giovanni reads Knoxville, Tennessee in Knoxville, Tennessee
May 23, 2019 -- Acclaimed poet Nikki Giovanni visited her hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, to help unveil a new historical marker established by the City of Knoxville and Mayor Madeline Rogero.
The new marker -- a replacement of a previous marker damaged during construction work -- includes biographical information about Giovanni and identifies the area around Cal Johnson Recreation Center and Park as the former location of the neighborhood where Giovanni's grandparents lived when she visited during summers when she was a child. Their home at 400 Mulvaney Street is described in Giovanni's essay named after the address and was located along what is now Hall of Fame Drive.
In the 1960s, urban renewal displaced predominately African-American residents and neighborhoods located in this area east of downtown Knoxville, replacing hundreds of homes, churches, schools and libraries with James White Parkway and civic buildings including the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum.
Knoxville Civic Coliseum upgrades complete
The building is almost 60 years old and has not seen this level of renovations since then. The nearly $11 million project created an entirely different look inside.

Joe Bonamassa Live @ The Knoxville Civic Auditorium 3/5/2019 - “Sloe Gin”
Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
And I'm standing in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
I'm so damn lonely
And I ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely
And I feel like I'm gonna die
Mayday, mayday I've been shot down
Over the stormy sea
Well I feel that I'm drifting away
Can not seem to get a grip on me
Well. I can't even try
I'm so damn lonely
Ain't even high
I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely
I hate to go home alone,
But what else is new?
I'm so damn lonely…
You stand and bleeding people pass me by
No matter if you live
No matter if you die
Sloe Gin, sloe Gin
Tryin' to wash away the pain inside
Well I'm sick and I'm all done in
I'm standing in the rain
And I feel like I'm gonna cry
I'm so damn lonely
Ain't even high
I'm so damn lonely…
