oke to .. 'A[[ Our Lives

Legendary author , poet and actress Maya Angelou , who passed away Wednesday morning at age 86 , will be remembered for her uncommon wisdom as much as for her award-winning writing . Deep insight into the African-American experience and a compassionate perspective-combined with a magical way with words-equipped her to weigh in like no other on what it meant to be black in her lifetime , as well as to provide broad , timeless advice . When this phenomenal woman spoke , we listened . And her words on topics from racism to perseverance to the power of love won ' t soon be forgotten .
