Has anyone ever made a more powerful case for reading Shakespeare and the classics than Maya Angelou?

I get getting rid of the woke crazy stuff but Maya Angelou? Few have been more immersed in the classical tradition.

✨ Imagine chatting with Queen Cleopatra! Did you know she spoke multiple languages and was the first in her family to speak Egyptian? Talk about multitasking! What would you ask her? 🤔 #Cleopatra #HistoryChat

What a poignant telling of the most heinous act against innocence then rising out of the depths via great literature. I haven’t heard anything so inspirational, loving and brilliant for quite some time, if ever.

That’s quite a story. One for the books. 👀

For a person who's not read a book for a very long time... This makes a strong point to get back to reading. What an inspiring story!!

Soooo, she’s an actual author?

That is truly amazing

Wow

I think I read a quote once

Thank you.

Yes, there have been others for 400 years.
