Rep. Alma Adams @RepAdams

Maya Angelou was the first Black poet to deliver a recitation at a presidential inauguration; the performance won a Grammy. She was active in the Civil Rights Movement and unafraid to be political. She worked on stage and behind the camera. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Alma Adams @RepAdams

In the 1980s, Angelou became a professor at @WakeForest University in @CityofWS, where she would spend the rest of her life. She was a person of limitless talents, and I will always be proud that the first bill I passed into law honors her work. #BlackHistoryMonth #SayBlack — PolitiTweet.org
