Maya Angelou always moved to the beat of her own drum. Raped my her mother's boyfriend at the age of 7. She spoke the words "rape" to her mother.  He was then beaten to death by a crowd of people.  Maya didn't speak for another 6 years. She thought her words had killed a man.  But in time her "words" have encouraged many people. She was a civil rights activist, mother, daughter, dancer, educator, and a poet. Fighting for equality for women of all colors.  Honored by Presidents Clinton and Obama  Died at 86. Maya Angelou.
