  In Memoriam

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. - Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou, actress, poet, dies at 86

Maya Angelou chose to use her painful experiences of racism, to inspire us through her wisdom and poetry. Every day each of us makes choices to shape a positive legacy - or not. - Carolyn Leighton
