There are certain people who have a powerful presence about them that the experience can not be explained. Their presence can only be felt. So when I heard Dr. Maya Angelou was speaking at the Riverside Church I knew this was one of those unique experiences.

This video shares this experience for all those who could not attend or who wish to relive the experience.
