Maya Angelou
Quotes
“I think it’s dangerous to use racial pejoratives about anybody. It was created to dehumanize people...I don’t allow any racial pejorative used in my presence. Don’t ever allow yourselves to be anywhere near where racial pejoratives are used.”
“I am a Woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal Woman, that’s me.”
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

About
On April 14, 2011, I attended an event at Jesse Auditorium at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, where Maya Angelou was the featured speaker. I found the video featured here among my old files and I have decided to share it despite the poor quality and shaky camera work. Angelou talks about making changes in small increments and advises people not to allow racial or sexual pejoratives to be used in their surroundings. Take a listen. Another interesting fact that you might have not known about Angelou is that she spoke about six languages and worked as a newspaper editor in Egypt and Ghana.
