I had no intention of watching all of this, but she's just so infectious gracious and captivating its impossible to not stop listen or fully engage in what ever story shes telling , I miss her...
I wish there was a complete archive of everything she has ever written and said. If it’s captured on film or record it should be made accessible to everyone all over the world. Her wisdom and humanity was truly a treasure. She’s not just an American treasure. She’s very much an international treasure. I sit here in Pakistan reading her books, watching her interviews and educating myself about not just racism and slavery. But a black person’s life in America back then. Does it affect me? Not in experience, no. But absolutely in my humanity. I’m humbled by her honestly and lack of bitterness. I’m moved by her eloquence and kindness.
I love how wise she was. And I lost my mom, so when I listen to her I feel like a child standing next to her mother and listening to her wise words. I miss that warmth.
I love this lady.i could listen to her speak forever. Brilliantly emotional, educated, animated. So worldly, yet deeply simple and down to earth. Someone I constantly learn from. You make me want to be a better woman....
I LOVE HEARING THIS WOMAN TALK. LISTENING TO HEAR READ I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SING WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE. HER WAY WITH WORDS ARE JUST.... I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN.
I grew up in Stamps Ark.about 20 years later than Maya did and I lived down the street from that little store. There was still prejudice against the blacks in my day. I remember going to church Sunday School at the Baptist Church and they were talking about how they sent missionaries to Africa to convert the black people there. Well, I just had to ask them this. How is it that we care to convert them and those blacks that are here, we don't even want to come to our church? No answer.....Just silence.....All of that time that I lived there, I never heard of Maya Angelou. It was while I lived in California that someone said to me, "Oh you grew up where Maya Angelou lived" so then I found out something I should have already known. Sometimes I think of going back to visit Stamps, Ark to see what it is like there now.
Treat everyone, like YOU want to be treated! You cannot create a fake virus, take away the incomes of the world, have evil laws,and expect peace. NOT! Get those $20,000.00 checks to the households, and $2,000.00 per month for training and working online. Do the right thing or reap what you have sown. You can fool some of the people some of the times, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. God is in charge, and He is not happy! BEHAVE and DO THE RIGHT THING NOW!!! ua-cam.com/video/f3Gbidz3OcE/v-deo.html
What a remarkable woman! Her vivaciousness, her ebullience for life is so simultaneously breathtaking & inspirational. I have long loved Dr. Angelou & shall always long to hear-- and *feel* -- her distinctive voice. She remains a treasure to us all. Bless your beautiful soul, Marguerite!
It's a beautiful day when Ms Dr Maya Angelou pops into my feed. Thank you Maya. ❤️ I'm glad you shared with us. Thank you ❤️ I'm glad to taught us. Thank you ❤️. You are missed and cherished. Keep working from beyond ❤️
Amen to that!! What a wonderful woman. I can listen to her all day long. What an amazing Soul she has. She truly is missed. In a world full of lies and brother turning against brother. We need her more than ever!!
I wish I had known this lady - our grandmother. So wise and poised. I can feel the pain and happiness in her voice. Truly missed. The interviewer is awkward, not the right person to do this interview as you can sense he is defensive about her black experience.
Maya Angelou is a master of her craft. At time 46:07 where she says, "I have to do this..you can cut it if you want." You get the sense that at her core there was as raging urge to set things right by telling the full story. How whites saw blacks and the "accusations" needed to be juxtaposed with the indisputable knockout from Joe Lewis that followed! The poem is entitled “Champion of the World” and is the nineteenth chapter in I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou.
She was a extremely intelligent and wise woman. Her stories are thought provoking. If you listen to her or read her poetry you will always come away with a new perspective. I could see her as a fine representative of truth.
I also admire the way she describes the universal reaction of the oppressed towards the oppressor. The fear, the dread , sagging of the shoulders and the knowledge they are coming to get you. This is the same in the beaten wife , abused children, or in any oppressed group. This is the same in the wars of the powerful against the defenceless. It is a human reaction. We need to understand the humanity in these acts and if the Newtonian laws are true there is a similar opposite reaction.
She did AMAZING the entire time. The ppl ….. ALL the ppl involved in this interview/recording etc aside from Maya were totally out of line to have so many damn mistakes and issues with sound & video etc it’s ridiculously embarrassing for THEM that they are even in the business and able to do this interview with such a talented person who they intended to make feel like she was doing something wrong. SHAME ON THEM- SHE DID GREAT
History has to be told so it can remain to be fixed for future Generations. She is such a strong woman! I could imagine her poem "Still I Rise" when hearing about all our people had to endure. I enjoyed her reading at the end. She is Such a gifted beautiful courageous black woman! A woman of God! I admire her in so many ways! Thank you Lord for blessing us with her presence and words of wisdom💞
Outstanding!!! I watched the entire clips and bloopers. Wow!!! Amazing Woman 👠 Dr. Maya Angelo is someone that I learn from until this day. A Phenomenal Woman indeed with class and Great Education against all odds. I aspire to do likewise. #MrsDonna
Years ago l was a tela marketing for certain company. We were on the phones asking for donations of certain household items. l remember that the most and best donation came from the black. The so-called Hoods,and ghettos. We got a regular pay but you could get bonuses if you could get a certain amount.l had to learn my lesson the hard way when l first started. The high society part of town with the doctors and lawyers were the worst!
This interview gives such a deep and poignant insight into Dr. Angelou's formative years and those relatives who cultivated her to be the mega-iconic W O M A N she means to the world today! #TRUE_LEGEND. Her culturally-transcendent influence and conceptual power shall never ever wane. 🙏
Here Ms Angelou beautifully describes among many things, through child's eyes, the cultural differences of segregation the lack of refinement in the whites who thought they were very superior just because . I didn't think they had innards. They did not talk the sweet language. Every action was cruelty, injustice, so they couldn't be. I read about white people in other lands, I understood them. I didn't connect those people with white folks. Such frankness and raw truth. Shows us the importance in distinguishing the quality of peoples.
Interview with Maya Angelou for "The Great Depression" Tender loving, sweet classy lady... Lovable and kind that's a very difficult to forget color of her personality. That was Dr. Maya Angelou. happy easter Apr 2, 2016
Hobos slept under bridges and over-passses nxt to the tracks back in the 80s when i was a kid.. i had a few i used to talk to when i was a kid.. I used to take them can soda and food when i was a kid
❤her voice and listening to her speak about motivating education made me want to go back to school and finish. I could listen to her, Morgan Freeman and James E. Jones forever just talking about anything❤
The negative comments are all but the issues that are them not and never will be Maya Angelou a beautiful and remarkable lady whom God shone the light on for us to believe we too can be just as great a person as she r.i.p lovely lady ☺💖
Maya Angelou, Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther king, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa and among others; were, are and will be, for ever and ever a present from God to the world.
Luz Vasquez Gandhi was a Racist! He expressed extreme disdain for black South Africans and I will never in a million years put his name next to the greats you just mentioned
it's incredible to think that north americans went to europe to fight nazism which was pretty much identical with segregation (as far as they knew, since the general public didn't know concentration camps existed)
This is just amazing and interesting! The whitefolks never using the longue-dulce/sweet-language made me think. We germans use the sweet language never in public - only in private love or to distress (thus using it as harder than the hard language). I don't really know about all the other Europeans, but that must have been sooo creepy for a little black girl in a segregated world - consider this: all those emigrants and decendants of white colonists were literally competing violently with each other that much, their mutual disgust, bad feelings, humiliations and dispare had just one "legitimated" exit for relief: the - nowadays "ethnic" called - afro-americans and other minorities.
41:03 AMAZING. I loved the whole thing. HOWEVER. You MUST listen to her read an excerpt from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, about Joe Louis. Blew me away.
I had no intention of watching all of this, but she's just so infectious gracious and captivating its impossible to not stop listen or fully engage in what ever story shes telling , I miss her...
@1Bo You worded it the best.
I agree
Facts!
Same here. ❤
💯🥰

so glad Ms. Angelou finished the Joe Louis fight reading. Today, most don't know his impact. He was more than a king.
How beautiful and honest is she. I really miss her. So elegant and graceful. How can a person be so real? I love her.
Her voice, her laugh and the way she tells stories is very contaigous.
This is like looking at someone with a full soul..or filled with soul and not afraid to show it or share it. To God be the glory!!
I love how wise she was. And I lost my mom, so when I listen to her I feel like a child standing next to her mother and listening to her wise words. I miss that warmth.
I love this lady.i could listen to her speak forever. Brilliantly emotional, educated, animated. So worldly, yet deeply simple and down to earth. Someone I constantly learn from. You make me want to be a better woman....

Ditto.
Her voice is one of the best voices I’ve heard in my life
I love everything about this inspiration! her tone, her humour, even her quick attitude I wish I could've met her! Thank you for sharing!!
💖
She is thee woman & i still look up to her even as she had passed on..Her spirit leaves all.
I love this woman! I can feel her words in my soul!❤💜

it is sad that people are ignorant of their own heritage. Especially when it comes to such a diamond as Maya Angelou

It's a beautiful day when Ms Dr Maya Angelou pops into my feed. Thank you Maya. ❤️ I'm glad you shared with us. Thank you ❤️ I'm glad to taught us. Thank you ❤️. You are missed and cherished. Keep working from beyond ❤️
I wish our generation understands why they should never forget where we come from.
Amen to that!! What a wonderful woman. I can listen to her all day long. What an amazing Soul she has. She truly is missed. In a world full of lies and brother turning against brother. We need her more than ever!!
I need to read every book she's ever read or written.
...I promise you that you won't forget it! 👍🏽💯
Maya is the greatest of all time✊🏾
HOLLA BEBE...PEACE AND PRAISE 👏 🙌 🙏 GOD BLESS
2021, What a Precious Gracious Honorable Woman she was!
I wish I had known this lady - our grandmother. So wise and poised. I can feel the pain and happiness in her voice. Truly missed. The interviewer is awkward, not the right person to do this interview as you can sense he is defensive about her black experience.
My God,what a gift
this soul carried to
us.
The most finest peaceful soul as maya angelou is. She brings peace to me just listening to her a true queen of humanity 🙏🏽❤️

What a amazing woman God bless her. She has such an amazing stories. I could listen to her all day long.. RIP 💜 💜 💜
She is so humble... she was told to start her sentence all over again and she humbly and graciously did so. Some people would have been flipped off
Maya so fascinating and her lovely voice so enchanting that the "interviewer's" interruptions rankles one and grates nerves.
I love you Maya Angelou! Thanks so much for posting!
I just love her. Admire her. Miss her. xoxox
absolutely brilliant
How comforting to hear her voice,reading to me,and to you.
Thx you for Being.
I enjoyed listening to her talk as much as I have enjoyed reading her books.
......A real Shakespearian soul......Bravo Maya! RIP
I find it really special to be watching this video on her birthday day(04-April)... Wow
#❤️it ,1992 film tech and all! I will listen to all she has for me however it comes. Thanks!
She was a extremely intelligent and wise woman. Her stories are thought provoking. If you listen to her or read her poetry you will always come away with a new perspective.
I could see her as a fine representative of truth.
I am so in agreement with you! Her writing and voice are a balm for my soul during a much needed time.
I could listen all day.❤️
Maya Angelou is so inspirational. Her strength stems from a deeper place! I love her! Remarkable woman. May her beautiful soul rest in Perfect peace
I also admire the way she describes the universal reaction of the oppressed towards the oppressor. The fear, the dread , sagging of the shoulders and the knowledge they are coming to get you.

Great story teller.
I truly loved this video. Very informative. What a blessing. Queen Angelou world treasure.
Her speaking voice was so unique...this was a great interview, minus the interviewer, who seemed inpatient at times..loved it💯
She did AMAZING the entire time. The ppl ….. ALL the ppl involved in this interview/recording etc aside from Maya were totally out of line to have so many damn mistakes and issues with sound & video etc it’s ridiculously embarrassing for THEM that they are even in the business and able to do this interview with such a talented person who they intended to make feel like she was doing something wrong.

I have listened to someone so captivating. Her voice, grace and knowledge is impeccable. She definitely queen 🤴 of hearts ♥️ God bless her
I speak the sweet language, I even kinda sing when I speak, most white people, find it weird. Turns out I'm not weird at all.
Please cite your source for "most white people" comment?
@@pattyajones the source is prejudice
I adore the sound of it, and how loving it comes across. It doesn't come naturally to me, but I feel so blessed to hear it.
I Love Her!!!

This the first time am hearing about my black history on UA-cam this is sad . This explains a lot why my people are so behind
Here Ms Angelou beautifully describes among many things, through child's eyes, the cultural differences of segregation the lack of refinement in the whites who thought they were very superior just because .
I didn't think they had innards. They did not talk the sweet language. Every action was cruelty, injustice, so they couldn't be. I read about white people in other lands, I understood them. I didn't connect those people with white folks.

Are we ever gonna be this blessed?
Thank you Dr Maya Angelou.

That was Dr. Maya Angelou.
happy easter

I see why she was loved i fell in love today with this beautiful women
The feeling that a black man could hold a world title.... yes...
Hobos slept under bridges and over-passses nxt to the tracks back in the 80s when i was a kid.. i had a few i used to talk to when i was a kid..
I used to take them can soda and food when i was a kid
Even in her agitation with the producer was elegant, a great treasure profoundly missed.
❤her voice and listening to her speak about motivating education made me want to go back to school and finish. I could listen to her, Morgan Freeman and James E. Jones forever just talking about anything❤
I have just found Maya Angelou she is amazing. Can someone tell me which book she is reading from at the end, or what book i should start with first
You should read all of them! But I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and Roll Of Thunder Hear My Cry are a really good place to start! Enjoy!💞
She has a very peaceful voice...
