Just dont have her read that bio about how she 'picked the prettiest boy to have a baby with" when explaining how she became a teenage mom.


Sidenote: Maya wrote all those poems in that god awful 2pac/Janet Jackson movie.

she was almost 90. Granted we didnt know she was sick like mandela, but you figure a 80 something year old person might not be in the greatest of shapes. We all get older, and we are all going to die. You can read her books this weekend, but youre going to have them read the books throughout the rest of the year. Learning isnt a once in a while event. Last year was the 50th anniversary of mandela being arrested. Last year was also the 50th anniversary of the I have a dream speech. Teach your children the truth. We wont be around forever to tell it firsthand.

every time I hear her name I think of that time when she was on the set of a movie or song with pac and he was cussing up a storm and she told him he didnt need to act like that to get his point across or something to that effect. and she said he broke down in tears and cried on her shoulders......black folks as well as humanity lost a great person today....
