- In this second of two programs celebrating the life and work of the late Maya Angelou, Bill Moyers revisits a 1988 documentary in which he and Angelou attended a conference on “Facing Evil,” held in the Hill Country of central Texas. Evil was a topic about which Angelou, the victim of childhood rape and virulent racism, had a lot to say.

When I was about the age that Maya had been raped my mother made me read I know why the caged bird sings. I was an early reader and despite the book being written for adults I understood everything. I think it was my mother's way of saying that she knew the secret that I kept locked inside of me. I never went mute as Maya did, but I was a wounded child. Other than my mother, Maya is probably my favorite person in the world. Her storytelling skills, her poetry, her cadence, her elegance, her sense of adventure, her legacy, and her spirit keep me going when I reach a point where I feel like I can't go on. Thank God for Maya Angelou.

Her rich words are like syrup on the pancakes of my soul...
dude just.. no
+Rodney Jackson thick and deep and filling!!!
rhaheem rouse yes literary get with this!
+Rodney Jackson now you make me want to have pancakes lol
It is one thing to be enlighten and to admit it and quite another to expound that enlightenment and use it to inspire others you are both you have reminded of me of my truth and for that I am grateful may God continue to utilize you as the precious vessel that you truly are!
Truly one of America's (and the world's) greatest poets and creative minds. I feel so lucky to have seen her speak before her passing.
Yes indeed
what's great about Maya Angelou is she is always using her creative mind to blossom more beauty, peace, and love in this world
you should feel lucky
she was masking a lot of hurt. I know that was the reason she was able to speak on it. plus all the things she had to endure. her poetry and wisdom came from within.
I'm blessed for having viewed this. Thank you for posting. Sincerely.
Wow I'm left in awe. Her delivery plus material is otherworldly. im now on the Maya bandwagon
I know.. she understood and vocalized the darkness of the human spirit... and it's unrelenting glint of hope to over come it.
+Tuscan Wonder That was quite the description. Are you perhaps, a poet, too
Jermano Mayfield
so am I😊
Maya Angelou was a wonderful poet who wrote some of the most exquisite poetry. The beautiful eloquence that is visible in her poetry and speeches is very mesmerizing. I am glad to be able to read her poetry because it makes me proud of my diverse roots.
I want to read everything she has ever written .........
same here
ditto
Same here
Me too! Starting this weekend!
Jeannie Campbell I have since I was 11 and she has spoken to my empty, broken heart and soul so many times. She brings me courage, grace, hope and a smile that has carried me 39 years now. Start at "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" and follow in succession. It'll be the best gift you will ever give yourself and trust she will speak to you forever.
My love and best of life's offerings to you.. don't forget to straighten you back , swag your hips , lift your head and smile dear Sister Xoxo..☀️
every time i feel down or not worthy I listen to Maya or Oprah. they remind of my strengths . I'm reminded of the great people who has paved the road for me. and immediately my spirit is lifted. and my strength is restored. I'm already paid for.
Facts
The poem "mask" she recited made cry bitterly. It showed the suffering of a people and although things have changed somewhat, it still lingers. There are people who are undercover racist. Like Fox News,and those like minded, they don't want anyone to admit racism is alive and well. They want people to pertend it doesn't exist and blacks and others must shut they mouths, and suffer sliently, laugh and smile broadly.
DebbieC96 I have yet to meet a racist who isn't sexist, the hatred goes hand in hand.

And yes brother still envys brother under hooded eyes they covet and the other still takes willfully on the demise of others even that which is closer than scent of perfume on the skin.
me too, i cried so much my cheeks started stinging
I love the passage about Uncle Willie.......thank you Maya... r.i.p
Beauty,dignity wisdom and untold style in this lady! That ending made me gasp like she did.
Whenever I hear Maya Angelou's voice, she reminds me of the Old Church Saints from my old neighborhood. They were NOT PERFECT, but they were the solid foundation for a neighborhood community when people still truly took the time out for other people. And just as I miss their voices and faces.........I too miss Maya Angelou's wisdom.
She is missed, but not forgotten.
Honestly, one of the most remarkable human beings of our time....or, perhaps, ever. A genuinely beautiful and brilliant and transformative soul.
TRULY THE MOST INSPIRATIONAL PERSON I WISH I KNEW! THE STORY OF HER RAPE LEFT ME SOBBING AS DID HER INTERPRETATION OF IT AS A CHILD! HER POSITIVITY AND OVERCOMING SPIRIT IS SOMETHING I KNOW I CAN DRAW FROM EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE! IN MY MIND THE GREATEST INSPIRATION PERSON O OF THE LAST CENTURY! ACTUALLY THAT STATEMENT IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE AN EXPLANATION OF HER, GOD BLESS HER AND I HOPE TO SEE HER IN GLORY!
the walk towards the Arkansas rail road track is so moving
She is the greatest teacher! She was called by God to speak life. Her pain couldn't touch the power that was inside her. I'm glad that she found her voice.
Me too, Ms. Sage, me too... Truly grateful! 🙏🏼
she is a brilliant orator...
I love Maya Angelou! Such a beautiful, phenomenal, and inspirational woman. She will always teach us. Rest in Heaven.
Thank you Uncle Willie! May you rest with God.
+Crystal Grose thank you Uncle Willie

We are so fortunate to have shared time on this planet at the same time Maya Angelou did! Such beauty and power , she is so beautiful to share her teachings with us..I have so much to learn from her.....

😢😢😢 I love you Maya....
that laugh in the end reminds me of the joker character.. she somehow accessed realms of the human experience that are not by any means accessible to many who have not mastered their own awareness
Tuscan Wonder shes beautiful.. Just beautiful ✌💖😁
Oh my Goodness! We're Honored for having An Angel Among us and now her spirit is blessing us from the Sky..!
"i almost choke when i think about my self"
The Mask... I'm not black but this poem describes me so much... I never understood before why I laugh so much... it's to hide to pain deep inside.
i feel like a clown myself
I am so touched by the speech of this amazing lady,and her story of her uncle ,and her awesome poem to honor her uncle!A woman who didn't allow her pain to make her hate others,but love and inspire others,a great human being,empathetic!
She move my spirit from within me...Love her.😊
i never thought i would be inspired by a woman however here am being inspired by DR Maya angelou i so love her poems she is my heroein
+Mawande Letsima Good for you! You'll be surprise how many inspiring women there are once you aloud yourself to listen to them ;)
This was a delight to hear and see the person of Maya Angelou reciting her peoms at a unique gathering. Bill Moyers has interviewed Maya Anzelou several times in her life, but THIS segment of his program offered several excellent elements of her life' work. Thank you for having these episodes online to discover. It truly made my day.
I never knew Maya Angelou met my mother-in-law face to face !!.
What an awe-inspiring and majestic human being, Dr. Maya Angelou! ❤️🙏🏼
My Lord, that was so moving.
My God.... 💕
God Bless your Eternal Happiness- a life well lived. I wish I'd met you!
Dr Angelo you left us such a great legacy .We must carry you with us everywhere we go.
powerful, jus powerful. laughing and crying at the same time. That's a powerful message. That's what happens when you suffer but still try to hide it by tricking your brain. it's a survival tool
Very few people are wise, and she's one of them.
This woman !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I never heard of Maya Angelo until.I went into recovery from addiction. The 6 month IOP residential treatment program is called " Maya's Place". What restoration!! Now I understand why it was called that. Powerful!!!
Hope you are better now

God's Angel💋💋💋💋He sent us Hope!! Love!! Faith!! Genuis!! Always Lifting Us Up!!!
I do not care what race, religion or creed with which one identifies, if he can hear these words and not be brought to tears, he has no soul.
I go from sad to angry that she is gone. RIP Maya.
Magnificent!
I have learnt a lesson from Maya not wanting to cross the railways. In cultural and racial difference even though time may have advanced and information may have improved but there are times where you can be cozy with a person with a different culture or race and some times where you have to know that there are silent borders where when you cross it may be like interfering and the treatment may change from coziness to harshness
I adored her. RIP
Wow. Just wow.
This is so powerful!
SHE WILL REMAIN WITH.... ♡ ♡ ♡ US...FOREVER!!...WE STILL SEAK TO YOU!!...MAYA!!...WE WILL ALWAWS
LOVE YOU!!...AS A GREAT... INSPIRATION!!...♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
And some people still disliked this clip, wow...
She is a world treasure!
Oh God!... hold my heart.
