- Maya Angelou born Marguerite Annie Johnson; April 4, 1928 - May 28, 2014) was an American poet, singer, memoirist, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, several books of poetry, and is credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees.[3] Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
She became a poet and writer after a series of occupations as a young adult, including fry cook, sex worker, nightclub dancer and performer, cast member of the opera Porgy and Bess, coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and journalist in Egypt and Ghana during the decolonization of Africa. She was an actress, writer, director, and producer of plays, movies, and public television programs. In 1982, she was named the first Reynolds Professor of American Studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was active in the Civil Rights Movement and worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Beginning in the 1990s, she made around 80 appearances a year on the lecture circuit, something she continued into her eighties. In 1993, Angelou recited her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" (1993) at the first inauguration of Bill Clinton, making her the first poet to make an inaugural recitation since Robert Frost at the inauguration of John F. Kennedy in 1961.

I love the control this women commands
I love her poetry, and I write too. I may be the next great poet.

@Valerie O'Brien Thank you.
Same! I just love her
Her self awareness as to where she stand in her surrounding inspires my second chance of living. At the age of 30 feeling as thou I am a failure, and not feeling confident about who I am as a person; I begin to realize that I could possible read my self back to confiding and trusting the person I'm.
She thought her words could bring death, but her words have brought so much life to me and so many
How ironic huh? We know nothing and are everything at the same time🥰
I am a white Cuban woman and Maya touched my soul over twenty years ago when I first saw her on the Oprah Winfrey Show. I’ve read all her books and poems. Because of her, “I Rise.” ❤
Isn't she Graceful !!??Her voice makes my eyes tear up.......Her words cuts through someone's heart....The sound of her laugh.....Oooh.....She's the true definition & representation of a Queen....of a black woman .....i could listen to her all day ....
@Valerie O'Brien I already got it dear❤️
yes..... beyond
So respect this women words cannot express my feeling
Her voice gives me joy
She was a truly important, read her work if you've not. That voice....
Peace
The interviewer was no match for this powerful, trailblazing goddess. So much humility, so dignified, so composed, so eloquent, so worldly, so confident and intelligent. My favourite responses (if I had to choose, I love them all) would be: "The best there is to have, is the best for me, and I believe that the best there is to be, is the best for me. I'd like to be the very best." and "I want to be a fantastic human being...I want my gestures, my actions to display what I am inside". Ase! So said, so done. Spoken and lived like a true Aries queen. Love her!
Lol, how dare Maya desire to be the best? The interviewer tried it and failed! NEXT QUESTION!
So true. ......True Queen
Exactly, strong grandmother in her life! Times of that period...some people yet live like that! Even sadder THINK nothing of it.
Chile he didn't know what to do with all that woman!
She made the interviewer look like a nincompoop
I love how she describes everything 😍
“If they were real people... they’d be nice.” No truer words.
👍🏽💯🤗
✌\m/✌
Maya Angelou was a miracle. Her writing lifts me up, makes me cry, and gives me the courage to move forward each day. I recently bought her first book, "I know why the caged bird sings"
Maya Angelou!
She's an epitome of not just physical beauty but of grace, elegance, confidence, and humility to the core!
She's not one to be easily rattled by rudeness of any form - subtle or crude
Her soft spoken nature even made her more beautiful and appealing
An awesome personality!
*** God bless 🙏 you Maya 😇 Angelou!!! *** You are a great very 😍 beautiful person ❤ who has graciously risen above terrible adversity.
Beautiful Words so dear and true!❤ Bless You!
I could listen to this LADY talk all day. She makes you feel like you're there as she describes things.
Does the way the reporter introduces her bother anyone or is it just me...i felt like it was a lil disrespectful
Me too
She probably approved it. She was not ashamed of who she was
I liked how Maya hold herself so strong and together. Adorably, fashionably strong lady.
Not at all.. Maya story is very powerful story. There is nothing to be ashamed about. You do what you have to do to feed your family.
I did at first, then realized that she put tht info out there, n then I was in awe of her strenght again
She’s so soft yet powerful, comfortable in her own skin
Yes her poise, toe, mannerisms n voice ❤
What a powerful energy she is. Intimidating.
The irony is I did not see her as intimidating but she does have a very powerful energy without even trying when she speaks she just has a radiance and grace effortlessly.
@@LadyCharity I concur. Yet with that powerful energy she still felt welcoming to me. Her voice is very inviting and unifying to me. I feel like you could play any audio of her talking and it would be just as good as listening to your favorite musical artist.
More like inspiring!
I love the way she talks about our people she’s a soul I will forever miss
Never forget her she had some nice stories 👍
I don’t know what the heck y’all talking about.... She shut the report down!!!!! So elegantly, so balanced, so true and NICE. She handled this interview beautifully
✌\m/💪
Class is in session..
👑A True Queen......... In EVERY sense of the word!👑
Thank you
I wish so much that she was my teacher as a child but she teaches me now, even though I mite not deserve her most wise and beautiful words.
you do deserve it. she would've been happy that she could guide you
Everytime she reads a poem I cry. Her way with words are so touching.
Absolutely, but what a lot of people do not realize is their opinion and highlight to discredit do not harm someone who is comfortable with their truth… I admire this about her and is quite motivated by her wise within her truth..❤
My grand mother had the privilege to have her over for tea in London in 1972 and we still have a photograph of this brief encounter. Every time i am at my grand mother's place and have tea with her, i can't help but having a chill of reverence running down my spine, when i seat on the very sofa Maya Angelou sat and drink from a cup she might have drunk from.
The fact that this phenomenal lady with this incomparable life and destiny, entered my family's house and thought a member of my family to be worthy of her time and company, fills me with sheer gratitude.
My Nan because of her position, has had some illustrious guests, but Maya Angelou is definitely one of those i would have been so thrilled to meet. And although she has had Charles Spencer Chaplin and Josephine Baker for tea, Maya Angelou and Frida Kahlo, are the two persons i would have moved mountains to meet.
What a beautiful black intelligent woman before my eyes I love her smile
Queen is not the word, she is much more than Queen to me, she is some untouchable kind of regal magic, with wisdom that can only be earnt through the pain of life and conquering it, what must reside in this kind of heart, the heart of a goddess, mythical and yet more real than anything what a heart! I know more because of her, but I cannot touch her intelligence more than this, there's more so much more, she is an eternal spirit of words and love and wisdom, may Mrs Angelous words like gifts and echo's, remain loud and resounding throughout this world forever. What a Soul.
Ru Paul is Queen to me.
So true
@Valerie O'Brien all admiration is a form of idolatrous obsession in one way or another, our subconscious chooses it's own gods and respective parental figures but sometimes we should recognise the good and the greatness people are capable of it's necessary. I would rather admire that than idolize modern Western celebrities who's fashion labels and reality shows fall short of truly reaching the integral parts of people's minds and cannot inspire the way Mrs Angelou's words can and still do.
@@bethankrzowski4553 well said. She is someone we can aspire to emulate
the audacity of this interviewer...so many rude moments. she held her own despite it all.
Yessss, "this poor, young, abused, black girl" 13:58
I concur!
You should see how he treated Barbra Streisand...another abuse victim.
I actually thought that he spoke to her with great respect... As though he was truly intrigued by her.
"If they're real people, they'll be nice" So there you have it, he's a "White folk'
I learned about the human spirit more in this interview than ive learned in my lifetime . Not just about race (black, white etc.) but Human. Im so grateful to have found this piece.
She's such a good storyteller. Her stories never changes 😭🙌🔥
I wish there was a heart button!
♥️❣️❤️🙂
❤
It’s beautiful to watch her speak.. powerful to just listen.. thank you for leaving a legacy to follow
Well said
Definition of BLACK POWER
Black magic 🖤
Black.
"If you were a real person, you would be nice" love it!
Not so many understood this
The beginning of interview... nm.. it was the 80's, when they were not sensitive to us... but i quickly forgot all about him once she spoke... i can never get enough of her.. i know shes up there reading poems to my son... i subbed! 💞
She was my cousin unfortunately never got the chance to meet her
🙏🏾🖤🙏🏾
True!! Because the introduction almost made me want to jump through my phone. 🤜🏾🤜🏾
God bless you
I Love and miss you my queen.
This woman is extraordinary. She is beyond my imagination. So talented and such a great person. Great great admiration for her.
I would listen to. Maya Anjelou and Angella Bassett are two voices I would listen to 24 hours per day. The sound and the way they carressed their words its just soooooo beautiful.
I agree. I would add Miss Cicely Tyson to that list.
There is something unprofessional going on. However, The Beauty and purpose of their Icon, can not be overshadowed.
I admire the way she steered the conversation from the interviewer’s attempts at focusing on racism. She was a true enigma.
One of the finest humans to walk this earth. She inspires me so so much
This woman is amazing! I find her so composed.
So grateful to have been shown this gracious lady, her life story is a reflection on us all.
2day, years after she has passed, I want to let HER know, I love her passion to find her true authentic self..
My mission NOW💕
i love how she had made the reporter realize that asking about her past/future with husbands was none of his business...without saying it. i love her love her love her
Yes, one of my favourite parts of the interview! Lol. He sure back pedalled quickly....
Yeesss. She really put him on the spot. Asking him if he was asking for himself. Maya was very polite and composed. I thought it rude to ask her that. It broke my heart when she spoke about her rape. You could see the pain cross her eyes. Even after all of these years. I don’t think she ever allowed herself be a victim. Amazingly beautiful human being
We all have the ability to be like her. Can you imagine a world filled with people like her?
Regardless of HOW THIS reporter started HIS NARRATIVE, 😒😑😒😑
"MISS MAYA ANGELOU"
IS WAS and WILL ALWAYS BE a TRIPLE THREAT. RENAISSANCE. REGAL.
FIERY. STRONG. INDEPENDENT SPIRIT OF BLACK FEMALE MAGIC.
NEVER SUPER WOMAN, but,
S U P E R B!💖💖💖
Heather T Fuck that swirling bitch. Sleeping with the enemy.
Billy Russo I really hope your an only kid! You profoundly confused, ignorant, immature, sad waste of flesh.
Wow! Beautiful she was that has no limitation.
What a woman! What an incomparably powerful voice and heart! What an unmatched soul and spirit!
While she was silence, she listened and learned so much. I carry her words in my head and heart. 💖
She ate the sounds around her
She came from two entrepreneurial property owning families. A lot of her struggles came from her wanting to do everything on her own with help from no one. However, I think having those role models in her family gave her confidence that she could aspire to greatness.
What a STUNNINGLY beautiful woman. 🙏🏾❤💯
...When I last viewed this 10 months ago, our world was a very different world. I just needed to hear her voice today to feel a little better about the world of today.
Such a gracious Lady! I heard her recite some of her poetries at the University of Reno, Nevada, many many years ago and her voice was so soft and cuddling. Such a bright woman! You see by loving to read books she became so prolific and powerful with her words. Amazing, because at that time were reading and writing was not encouraged she found Miss Flowers that took interest in her. The faith and patience of her grandma' molded Miss Angelou. Such a beautiful human being, a real African Queen. R.I.P. dear !
She helped me understand myself as a black woman which is a journey only a fellow black woman knows. She reminded me of the woman I became and that I need to be thankful for every moment I lived my blues(my emotional struggles) and survived them.
39:05 " Of course I would live like that...why wouldn't I. " 😍😍😍😍
Love that respond.Oh that interviewer sneakily told her to stay humble. 39:54 smh. She had every right to answer his question how she did.
He was intimidated by her.
I read "I know why the caged bird sings" back in the 90s and only learned this year that Dr. Angelou wrote 6 more autobiographies after that. She details her life while working on Porgy & Bess, organizing with Dr. King and Malcom X, living in Africa, her friendship with James Baldwin and 1200+ pages of stuff in between. I found an anthology in my local library that includes the first 6 of her autobiographies. Dr. Angelou's life is such a captivating read. Im sharing as an fyi for those like me that didnt know that her written story didnt end with IKWTCBS. Enjoy!
...I've read them all time and again, & never grow weary of them.
I’m just discovering her writing so once I finish “Where the Caged Bird Sings” I want to read her autobiographies! 💘🌸
Everything about this amazing intellect never gets old...there is always so much to learn from her to inspire us..all the great ones leave us so much to live by.
who tf starts a interview saying she was raped at 7 years old(and continues to disrespect her as woman)..... Such a beacon of grace and intelligence she is and this is how he starts her introduction
unbelievable that an entire production crew aloud it to unravel.
I know, I was like what the fudge dude?!? That's so disrespectful
I live in nc and I take Maya spirit with me when I need strength. She is so strong. Definition of a woman. Her stores and poems got me through nursing school and hard times.
She is the mother I would have had.
me too!
Charles Jeffery yes
My grandmother loved Maya Angelou, listening to Maya is like sitting with my grandmother again. It’s so comforting
Same
REEL BLACK.....YOU HAVE BEEN MISSED! THAT YOU FOR RETURNING! THESE VIDEOS THAT GOLD FOR SPIRITUAL GROWTH! THANKS!
Appreciated. We are doing our best to grow and be proactive/respectful to sharing outside content.
Michael Walker
Wow, what a great find. The world certainly had a great one in Maya Angelou.
She was a most excellent woman.
whew I just love miss Maya Angelou
Her voice could heal oh I love it
I could look at her face for ever, it's so exspresive. Lovely lady.
Chile! I mean 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing' All the way in Jamaica we were eating peanut cake too, sound like my grandmother
This is the most beautiful way I have seen words carried and conveyed.
She is just amazing. She was and is a gift to the world.
she is fascinating - i smiled all the way watching this
I've made her my grandmother (never met mine)i take her as my grand mother i learn from her,i listen to her .. she has taught me to love myself and to live gracefully embracing life acknowledging God and using my talents.. btw ... I'm here loving her earrings ... i think they are cute 😅
Her responses seem to roll straight over his flat head ! She really Takes the reigns freely , and lyrically .
THANKS FOR THE GIFT OF MAYO ANGELOU, WHAT GREATNESS WHAT POWER WHAT DIVINE WOMAN IS THIS ..I LOVE AND MISS HER DEEPLY BE BLESSED IN GRACE.
Her son told stories like her. It was a pleasure to get to know Guy. He always spoke of his mother with such admiration
Maya Angelou...is was a very remarkable women.A poet I soo admired. There is absolutely no slacking in here deliverance of her
Story.Nor in my opinion the harder the reporter tried to belittle Maya interlect the stronger her words and deliverance became.She is was Extremely Extraordinary .💯
She is one woman that is control with such love and respect I wish there would be more like her and maybe we woman should change our way of life
This is the most humble interview I have ever seen.
I’m glad she had the support with her brother that’s just lovely
I came across this piece of film, due to convid-19 due to lockdown in England, she has a powerful and prolific present about her, and she answered her questions in a manner that was so professional. These powerful " black women" really did a lot for the Africa American people. The intervieweer, asked her did she like her visit to Africa Ghana, and she replied of course!! He want her to elaborate, but she did not discuss the trip any further, other than Caroline was her home now. A nice topic to listen to and take inspirational from.
A mother. I love hearing the one and only Maya Angelou grace us.
True survivor and accomplished great Job Maya Angelou
What an incredible storyteller. Legend🕊
This interviewer is the absolute worst. I mean the insensitivity that drips from his lips undeniably shows his inability to connect with her experiences.
and yet, She Rises... Shame on him and standing O to her. What a magnificent person!
Terrible introduction.
ugh, i know. he kept interrupting her too!
Sounds like a police interrogation when he starts talking
I agree. He is so frustrating. She has so much power and grace the way she did this interview 🙌
A Beautiful Soul💕💋Grateful to be able to hear a wise Women!!! What a honor Smiles
I could listen to her all day
I read her books ,her poem books l find my eyes warm , l love her l wish l have met her!
I Love you Ms Maya Angelou!! You are one of my favorite Inspirations!!! 😇🥰
So insightful and regal , an inspiration at their finest
Maya Angelou's poem I know why the caged bird sings is a masterpiece!
Rest-In-Peace, Mrs. Maya Angelou..
Amazing women.. I started to speak about myself of being like a bird caged only to be let free but not able to FLY until now. Second watched the movie Why can't the caged bird sing, finding the book now these docramentries and still seeking to find. It all started with feelinh like a caged bird not able to fly... Sing. I found out why I couldn't sing and how to sing now. I also went through some TRAUMATIC events.
I loved her voice and the descriptive way in which she painted her experiences in that small Southern town with such pride and love for that community. She brought to life a rural southern town for this reporter and gave dignity to the people whose lives were very hard in Stamps Arkansas. Maya Angelou was playing with this interviewer. She let him know at 14 she got a scholarship. She let him know the strippers were white and not her and she spoke fluently seven languages. Her life was very colorful and fulfilled. I dont like how he introduced her. He didnt have to talk about how she had a baby at 15 and worked at a brothel! Her credentials are amazing as she mentions this against the backdrop of agony of that inner seven year old raped and traumatized by that memory for a lifetime.
I love that she demands respect so inspirational
M/s Maya Angelou is a great specimen of human being. I love her and love her work.
None can be compared to this LEGEND!!!!!! Thankful for HER paving the way!!
Amazing woman. Captivating. Beautiful.
So much dignity - the interview shows the attitude of the time . I can see sadness and pride - wow what a woman
Amazing😇
Yo that “yes good” after she read him from the ground up takes me OUT
An absolute Queen in every way. ❤️
thank you so much for posting this
Beautiful soul.
I finally found this whole interview. Thank you for posting
She read him his rights out the gate, with that poem. I missed it the first time. Get em Yeye!
She was such a beautiful woman
I bet you're hard to live with... What I'm seeing is a brilliant woman who is completely authentic and exudes warmth and gentleness and strength.
