MAYA ANGELOU AND STILL I RISE
THURSDAY, August 4, 7:00 PM
The Tabernacle, Oak Bluffs
Discussion to follow with directors Bob Hercules and Rita Coburn Whack
Distinctly referred to as “a redwood tree, with deep, deep roots in American culture,” Maya Angelou was an icon who gave people the freedom to think about their history in a way they never had before. As a singer, dancer, activist, poet, and writer she inspired generations with lyrical, modern African-American thought that pushed boundaries.
