An array of different faces of various races gathered in a buzzing LSU Student Union Theater on Tuesday night for an unforgettable evening with Maya Angelou during Black History Month.
A lively bunch of young men and women, including the LSU Gospel Choir; Jonosha Jackson and Eric Couto, winners of the Mic with Maya poetry slam; and a step show by representatives of the National Pan-Hellenic Council at LSU commenced the event by paying tribute to the civil rights author and activist.
By the final note of the Gospel Choir’s “We Shall Overcome,” the audience was brimming with anticipation to greet Angelou, who last visited the University 20 years ago.
The curtain rose and Angelou sat in a wooden chair, soulfully singing, “When it looked like the sun would not shine anymore, God put a rainbow in the clouds” — a line influenced by Genesis in the Bible.
