This is a long piece, but at the end Maya Angelou speaks her thoughts on the election.

This is not a poet's reflection on the election, but one that I find profound. Bill Moyers' opening remarks on tonight's broadcast of Bill Moyers' Journal are included in this transcript.

I did not attend the rally in St. Louis, but I know the area well. I live about 3 miles from the court house.
