We all rise...

Post by Gromit »

I have long been a big fan of Maya Angelou... this piece aired on CBS this morning and ends with a discussion with Dr. Angelou. She is one of the most interesting women of our times.

I hope this piece and her comments will resonate with you and will help heal us all.

Thank you Grommit. It's in a way ridiculously that I,
who isn't American, again have tears running down my
cheeks. But the video was so touching, she is so wise, and I'm too emotional.
