Oh, the passing of Maya Angelou got by me somehow.

ETA: Here's a sad commentary on my life: I don't personally know anyone who will know who Maya Angelou was. Ima test that notion, but, I'm betting it's true.

I saw her speak live when i was in college then again years later with my mom. I'm so sad.

Here is an excellent article on Maya Angelou.

In fact it is the best news article I've ever read on Yahoo.

I'm up to 14 people, now...no one has known who she was or even heard of her. I live in a cultural wasteland.

Don't feel bad, none of the teachers I work with had heard of her either. Go STEM!

That's effed up. STEM is good and all, but let's not forget the value of liberal arts. Sheesh. TEACHERS hadn't heard of her? Where'd they get their education...ITT or Miami Jacobs?

She was 91.
