Maya Angelou on Being a Black Woman in America
Maya Angelou – playwright, lecturer, director, singer, dancer, actress, editor and political activist – speaks with interviewer Bill Moyers about “Black and White” in American culture. Their conversation about race and gender dives into heavy topics such as identity, freedom and belonging, memory, motherhood, power, and other factors that shape American life. Angelou gets candid about stereotypes, the strength of Black womanhood, and what inspires her. She challenges the idea of America as a “melting pot,” confronts the legacy of labels, and reframes the quest for liberation.
“Bill Moyers Journal” was a weekly current affairs program covering economics, history, literature, religion, philosophy, science, and politics.
