"They have replaced his poem with some vapid drivel from the serially overrated Maya Angelou."

Maya "Aunt Jemima" Angelou's real name is Marguerite Annie Johnson.

Louis "Louie X" Farrakhan's real name is Louis Eugene Walcott.

Both of them are a couple phonies and fakers from way back. The people who slobber over "Maya's" dross are really commenting on their own vapidity.

I saw Maya Angelou at Oregon State U back in the 80’s. We had the usual black power types running around at the time. At her talk, one of them stood up & asked her if every black person should spend some time in Africa (as she had done) so as to experience a totally black culture. Her response:

“The only thing you will learn from a trip to Africa is that you are an American.”

A pretty good line. I wish more people understood it.
