“Still I Rise” – Remembering Maya Angelou
|
| From the moment it was published in 1978, “Still I Rise” has been one of Maya Angelou’s best-loved and most influential poems. It has inspired figures as diverse as Bill Clinton and Tupac Shakur and has become a staple in the canon of American poetry. Dr. Angelou’s directness and candor affirms the power of individual strength over collective history, as well as to the power of individual lives to shape our shared future. Watch and listen as the great poet, who died at age 86 on 28 May 2014, introduces and recites her paean to resilience and dignity. |

The Oldest Living Things In The World
For almost a decade, Rachel Sussman has been traveling the world to discover and document the Earth’s oldest organisms – living things over 2,000 years of age. Sussman unearths Earth’s “greatest stories of resilience, stories of tragedy and triumph, past and future, but above all stories that humble our human lives, which seem like the blink of a cosmic eye against the timescales of these ancient organisms – organisms that have unflinchingly witnessed all of our own tragedies and triumphs, our wars and our revolutions, our holocausts and our renaissances, and have remained anchored to existence more firmly than we can ever hope to be.” Enjoy her breathtaking photographs and illuminating thoughts in this incredible piece. { read more }
