“Love costs all we are and will ever be, yet it is only love that will set us free…when we come to it, we must confess that we are the possible, we are the miraculous, the true wonders of this world!”
—Maya Angelou wrote “Georgia, Georgia”, the first screenplay by an African American woman to be filmed. She speaks French, Spanish, Arabic, Italian, and Fanit, proving that she really is a Phenominal Woman <Black_History_Month>
“To-day, O hearken, not your folly mourn, for time mispent, that will never return, but see the sons of vegetation rise, and spread their leafy banners to the skies. All-wise Almighty Providence we trace, in trees, and plants, and all the flow’ry race; as clear as in the nobler frame of man, all lovely copies of the Maker’s plan.”
— PHILLIS WHEATLEY was the first African American poet to be published (while still a slave) in 1773 <Black_History_Month>
