Dr. Maya Angelou not only spoke to us, but she spoke of us, painting a picture of our nation with words. She showed us that we can always be more than the labels and limitations others place on us. She taught that we have a duty to stand up for those among us who are treated as less. "Dr. Angelou will always be a voice for the voiceless and a champion for equality and those facing great adversity. "We mourn her passing, but we celebrate her life, her work, her contributions to our nation and world. I believe she would want us to find the light in this time of sadness, and we should honor her in that way." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T22:41:51Z |
