Distinctly referred to as “a
redwood tree, with deep roots
in American culture,” the late
Maya Angelou led a prolific life.
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.
