@ninasooz I understand where you are coming from so please don't take offense when I say I disagree. It was under that flag that so many were oppressed, but it was also under that flag that many things changed. Yes, we still do have a long way to go.

she is a woman that i admire. if she could come back,i'd elect her for president of the united states.

This speech is so powerful. I love Maya Angelou doing it. I must respectfully take issue with the presentation of the American flag, though maybe even Sojourna would have wanted it that way. Do we see that and understand it was the policies of that flag that put this amazing woman into so much hardship, really, if 10 of us had lived a life with half as much stress wouldn't 5 or 6 be dead? I am angry at that flag. Not enough has changed.

Equality<< 4 All is what she saying, but for the most oppressed which worldwide is women, and they are the "GIVERS OF LIFE" so they deserve much more then is given!

@bomsheeta I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT WHAT DOES LOVE HAVE TO DO WITH SKIN COLOR? AND WHAT WHITE PEOPLE DID THEN AND WHAT THEY DO NOW IS DIFFERENT WHY SHOULD THEY BE TORMENTED AND HATED FOR WHAT THEIR ANCESTORS DID?ITS A SHAME THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU STILL EXIST!MY MOTHER IS BLACK AND SHE MARRIED MY FATHER WHO IS WHITE....LUV COMES IN ALL SHAPES COLORS AND SIZES BUT SADLY SO DOES HATE.
