Not so fast...you can't possibly know where Maya Angelou was, all of her bios are filled with contradictions:

In 1960 she married South African freedom fighter, Vusumi Make.

From 1961 to 1962, Angelou was the associate editor of the only English-language news weekly in the Middle East, the Arab Observer, in Cairo, Egypt. Angelou and Make divorced in 1963, and from 1964 to 1966, she was the feature editor of the African Review in Accra, Ghana.

Maya Angelou pictured here with Malcolm X in Ghana in 1964...at the same time as Malcolm X is seen with Shirley Graham Du Bois.

She's supposedly in Ghana until 1966, but here she is with her Brother Bailey Johnson Jr, in Hawaii...

Why do you do that? You 'speak' with such authority, never provide a link, and totally over-ride the research of others. Every story written about the movements and where-abouts of Maya Angelou varies in the telling...therefor you need to make it clear what you write is AN OPINION!

In my post #266 I provide a link to Angelou’s autobiography:

“Doing a quick web search I find:”

Her own autobiography should be a decent source, considering she probably wrote it herself unlike Bill Ayers’ Dreams, which you offer quotes from so often.

“Every story written about the movements and where-abouts of Maya Angelou varies in the telling.”

That reminds me of someone else we know only too well.

Do you remember that incident recently, on a plane that turned back to DC and fighter jets were scrambled, but nobody involved in the on-board fistcuffs was arrested? The plane was bound from DC to Accra, Ghana. Who was on that plane, why was the person so self-important that he would punch the guy in front of him for reclining his seat, and most of all, why wasn’t the puncher arrested, booked, and identified as any ordinary citizen would be, especially in the era of TSA and DHS?
