As a singer, dancer, activist, poet and writer, she inspired genera- tions with lyrical modern Afri- can-American thought that pushed boundaries. Best known for her autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” she gave peo- ple the freedom to think about their history in a way they never had before. The first feature documentary about her life, “American Mas- ters – Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise,” premieres nationwide Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. on PBS (Channel 10) during Black Histo- ry Month. With unprecedented access, the filmmakers trace Dr. Angelou’s incredible journey, shedding light on the untold aspects of her life through never-before-seen foot- age, rare archival photographs and videos and her own words. From her upbringing in the De- pression-era South and her early performing career to her work with Malcolm X in Ghana and her many writing successes, including her inaugural poem for President Bill Clinton, the documentary reveals hidden facets of her life during some of America’s most defining moments. The film also features exclu- sive interviews with Angelou, her friends and family, including Clin- ton, Oprah Winfrey, Common, Alfre Woodard, Cicely Tyson, Quincy Jones, Hillary Clinton, Louis Gossett, Jr., John Singleton, Diahann Carroll, Valerie Simpson, Random House editor Bob Loom- is and Dr. Angelou’s son, Guy Johnson.
