Maya Angelous passed away due to complications with a long time battle with heart problems in Winston-Salem, NC. I lived there for four years and attended Wake Forest University. Maya Angelou was one of our professors at the school. I'll never forget when my first week at school in orientation when Maya Angelou appeared in a presentation to greet us as freshmen.
Maya Angelou is know as a great America writer and actress who launched into worldwide stardom after being chosen as the featured poet at President Bill Clinton's 1993 inauguration. As one author states, "The wit, wisdom, and power of Maya Angelou's work have made her one of the most beloved contemporary American writers." It is truly a great lose now that she has passed away.
In loving memory of Maya Angelou
1928 - 2014
