Maya Angelou: Raising the New Generation

April 4, 1928 - May 27, 2014
The illustrious and talented Dr. Maya Angelou went to glory to May 27, 2014. A renowned poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil rights activist, producer and director, Dr. Angelou was one of the great voices of contemporary literature and a Renaissance woman.

Gosh, she was brilliant.

[@guitarttimman]

She is dignified, brilliant, and her words are very heart felt!
No human being should have to be worried about being degraded or discriminated against!
Racial tagging is the very worst thing, and I think it's awesome when people stand up to the enemy!
God Bless you Maya Angelou.

She is so spot on. If you do not know where you came from you will end up there and cause the next generation to do the same.

Wise and Inspirational Woman

[@mralibangsmooth]

i love her sense of humor

[@makezmuzic]

Whats sad is that those who remember the past & speak of it are branded as "trouble makers", "radicals" and "s*&t starters" by those who are uncomfortable with it. Pretending atrocities, injustices didn't happen dosen't make them disappear. Speaking about them dosen't bring up ill feelings. The ill feelings are already there. If they weren't, people wouldnt find hearing about, talking about the past uncomfortable. We NEED those feelings. If you don't FEEL it, you can never HEAL it.

[@bleuaja]

So smart. So truly delightful.

[@Googie22]

She is so strong and certain and wise. It used to be, I think, a long time ago, before slavery, before colonialism, every women was like that.
Let’s be strong like this again. Let’s not make strong women a minority.
