Maya Angelou’s Speech to HRC

“It is important that each of us be aware of the power we have in our very being to come to be a…supporter of HRC…You have no idea who’s watching you…who you will impress and inform and change and enhearten and empower…because all of us are caged birds…caged by somebody else’s ignorance…When we have enough courage to come out—I don’t mean just our of the closet, I mean out of your spirit…you have no idea who you will inform.”
