Maya Angelou
née Marguerite Annie Johnson

Though best known as an author and activist Maya Angelou also received a dance and drama scholarship in high school. She performed in a European production of Porgy and Bess (1954-55), studied modern dance with Martha Graham, and danced with Alvin Ailey.

"Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister's eyes, into
Your brother's face, your country
And say simply
Very simply
With hope
Good morning."
On the Pulse of Morning
