Maya Angelou and Ani DiFranco on Obama

The F Word has posted a video of Maya Angelou’s reaction to Obama’s victory. Her interview starts about 3 minutes in, after some outlining of African-American history. I’ve never seen this lady speak before, and what an inspiring woman! She even recites some of her poetry at the end. Check it out.
I also found a pre-election interview with Ani DiFranco on youtube, it seems to have been filmed a couple of days before November 4th.
