This poem was brought to me by the late fine actress Margareta Krook on
Swedish televsion 15-20 years ago. That was the first time I heard of you
Ms Angelou. You read the poem and went through the screen. Since then i
have read it for my students, given it to my friends and they all have been
utterly moved by the amazing energy it brings. Thank you so much for a poem
that gives empowerment and strength to people all over the world!/Ingrid

I love her words..the way she so inacently uses her past, growing up in a
segreqated era. she simply states that if people would only see past the
color of her skin and listen to her words she has a powerful message and
she wants all to her it so she will perservear until she is heard! Maya
Angelou is a role model for all who want to be heard.

This is an amazing poem. I find it to be extremely taunting and triumphant.
It just radiates empowerment and self-worth. A lovely bit of art.

The Poem is an anthem for the supressed everywhere, and goes beyond its
intended message to all people in all times of history who have suffered,
and are expected to appear bowed down. I do like the defiant and
unpretentious air of this poem.
