A reading/speech/lecture/gathering with Maya Angelou, Salem, MA, November 5, 2007.

"The power to look through complexion and see community is something we can all do."

"You can be anything every now and then...courageous, honest, true...but to do that day after day, that's the power of the rainbow in the clouds."

"I don't trust people who don't like themselves. It's like, 'I don't like myself, but I love you.' There's a saying in the black community, it goes, 'Don't accept a shirt offered to you by a naked man.'"
