The world is mourning the loss of one of our greatest poets and activists, Maya Angelou. In this interview conducted 5 months before she passed, she speaks about her relationship with Tupac Shakur on the set of the 1993 film Poetic Justice.
“Let me speak to you,” Maya told ‘Pac. “When was the last time anyone told you how important you are? Did you know our people stood on auction blocks, were sold – bought and sold? Did you know, so you could stay alive today?” She continued telling her story, “And finally, he heard me and stopped talking and started to weep.”
