Maya Angelou, born Marguerite Ann Johnson in April of 1928, is still alive today and preaching her words of wisdom to us all. At age 83 today, Angelou is an author, producer, professor, activist, actress, and a true hero. Within all her work she has done, people such as Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, William Shakespeare, and so many other influential people made such an impact on Maya Angelou's creations and accomplishments. Maya has definitely made history with all she has done so far and I still think there is more to come from her brilliant mind and heart. With her honorary degree, she can be referred to by Dr. Angelou. Maya Angelou is still such an influential and inspiring voice to us all today as her words and great mind continue to liberate us.
