SUMMARY:Maya Angelou: Keynote Address
DESCRIPTION:Maya Angelou is hailed as a Renaissance woman and considered a national treasure. When she delivered her dedicatory poem at the Presidential Inauguration in 1993\, she became only the second poet in U.S. history to have the honor of writing and reciting original work at an Inauguration. She also recited work at the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations. \nAngelou has authored 12 best-selling books. Nominated for best supporting actress in 1977 for her role as Nyo Boto (Grandmother) in the made-for-TV movie Roots\, she began her acting career in 1954\, playing Ruby in the European tour of Porgy and Bess. She has written and produced a number of plays\, documentaries\, and TV programs\, including the 30 half-hour segments of Humanities Through The Arts\, and the miniseries Three Way Choice. \nAngelou is fluent in English\, French\, Spanish\, Italian\, Arabic\, and West African Fanti\, and the list of her accomplishments is varied and global: modern dance teacher in Rome and Tel Aviv; coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (by request of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.); associate editor of the Arab Observer (Cairo\, Egypt) and feature editor of African Review (Accra\, Ghana); assistant administrator and teacher at the University of Ghana’s School of Music and Drama; Institute for the Study of Human Systems panelist (Zermatt\, Switzerland). \nShe was appointed to the American Revolution Bicentennial Council by President Gerald Ford\, and to the Presidential Commission for International Women’s Year by President Jimmy Carter. She is the recipient of scores of honors and awards\, including the National Medal of Arts in 2000 and an honorary doctorate from Rollins.
