Thanks for posting, that was lovely. But WTF was up with the interviewer? I wanted to slap him. STOP LAUGHING INAPPROPRIATELY AND TOUCHING YOUR MOUTH, WEIRDO!

A great woman. Someone whose life history and ongoing inspiring contributions speak to the best in all of us. She is the friend, mother, grandmother we all have.

Listening to her is listening to a part of history. Listening to her is even more awe-inspiring than reading her work.
