Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2014 Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 I can still hear her voice in my head even at the moment. She had so much class and self-respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 28, 2014 Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 RIP Goddess Maya. She's one of the few reasons why I majored in English. A chapter/short story from her book I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings was one of the many works to inspire me to truly follow my passion to write. To gain confidence and voice. To captivate and educate. Such an astounding woman.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 28, 2014 Members Share Posted May 28, 2014 Some websites are publishing this poem as one of hers, as one of her best poems that people should read. This poem, called Clothes, is quite an ugly poem, one that is a long-running hoax, and has nothing to do with her, as she pointed out about ten years ago. http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_maya_angelou.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
