Yesterday, I shared Maya Angelou’s poem, On the Pulse of the Morning. And today, before we discuss it, I want to share an interview I found of her discussing writing it, this video includes Bill and Hillary Clinton’s opinions on the poetry as well. Originally, I wrote all these responses in my own words, but it just doesn’t feel right - further distilling history when we have video and audio, and you can hear it straight from the source, here: https://florida.pbslearningmedia.org/resource/ang17.ela.poetry.morning/maya-angelou-still-i-rise-maya-angelou-and-the-1993-inaugural-poem-on-the-pulse-of-morning/
