  • She's so beautiful...

  • Guess what, America was never created with any thought for making Africans feel

    like home or welcome. I say, as a African American, we were here to work for and support white European emigrants. They created this country thinking that we would be slaves on plantations forever. African Americans might never truly feel

    like America is home.

  • @bigbigslacker should she talk fast and not intend to have meaning in what she says u dick? @donovonc u will never feel @ home in America. this American government est. in 1776 had no intention of freeing kidnapped Africans. according to the constitution, Negroids are 3/5 human being.

  • I have not studied her, but based on watching this I'm under the impression Dr Maya Angelou is among that most annoying class of people who speak slowly and endlessly in an attempt to bluff the listener into believing what they say is intelligent, accurate, and full of great insight.

  • Kia ora Dr Maya Angelou for your beautiful presence. Words upon your experiences humble those of us who only imagine we have suffered. To have suffered and remained inwardly balanced radiates from your Sacred space (You Dear Maya). When you move in words, in presence or action there does a new ground become enlivened. You inaugurate hope in hopeless circumstances shining the light which is you indwelling the Sacred calling welcome! Welcome one and all! We are blessed to connect with you.

  • She is an angel. So wise and kind x

  • If life is a tunnel, Maya Angelou is one of those who keeps being a light for others to follow.

  • "The Mostr dynamic people on the planet!"

  • Thank you for posting this marvelous and insightful interview with Maya Angelou.

  • Maya Angelou is brilliant. I could just sit at her feet and listen to her for days.
