but i want to go back to maya angelou. so talk about your relationship with maya angelou.is so important to this book and it's been such a defining relationship in your life. - it was really fun. when maya finally moved down to ... maya, the reason i got along with maya, by the way, is that she was always kind to my mother, every time she saw my mother. and so you have to love somebody as that. i was, when she was passing, i was asked to write a piece. and i did. but then i was asked to write another piece by somebody else. and i was going to say, "but i've written a piece." and then i realized i've known maya for 50 years. i ought to be able to write piece after piece after piece. i should be able to do that. and so i did. i think i have three pieces that i wrote about that in the book. and she lived in north carolina and i'm right here in virginia. so whenever maya would call, it's really funny. because she's not a call person. so whenever she would call, you'd know it'd be important. and when toni's son, slade, passed, we were talking. she and i were talking. what could

for maya angelou, i mean, she was deeply steeped in the bible even from, you know, her younger years. it was a great source of inspiration, guidance. i mean, you know, truly a very important part of who she is. so i think what we try to do, we have a large interactive feature here where we allow some, or you know, some comparisons to specifically i know why the caged bird sings. we show in her writing a little connection to, you know, one of her quotes where she talks about, you know, she was exploring hope in the sense of wholeness. and, you know, expressing this through the idea of the kingdom come. and this, of course, isn't a, is, you know, an allusion to jesus' prayer that he, that the gospels attribute to jesus, you know, to teach the disciples how to pray. you know, thy kingdom come, thy will be done. and she also in this work discusses how deuteronomy was her favorite book, and, you know, her effort to even memorize deuteronomy. and so when you have a book that that's significant to you, you know, those expressions come out in your writings, and so i think that's what we see w

i will finally note that maya angelou was a graduate of one of our public schools. i think she needs a school in san francisco. [cheers and applause] not to front load the work of the committee. also, james baldwin did incredible work through a documentary called the hammer, where he spoke to kids at lincoln high school, and if you haven't seen it, it's on youtube. it's about the african-american students at lincoln, asking them one day if they could be president. i encourage you to watch it and hear his response to them. which was to paraphrase, it's not whether or not you can be it, but if you believe you can, you believe what they've told you about yourself. so you've already lost. so with this resolution, as we consider renaming schools, i want us to tell something powerful to the students that continue to be marginalized in our community. we take one step forward in that direction if my colleagues support this and we pass it. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner sanchez. >> mr. sanchez: thank you, president. so, it is a long time in coming. and i apologize as

. >> maya angelou. >> she got it from the long tradition we come out of. what's interesting is it's easy to condemn what roseanne barr did yesterday. that's easy. it's easy for us to show ourselves -- show that we are these moral actors and can condemn. what's not easy is to condemn all of the actions underneath, all of the day-to-day choices that reproduce inequality in this country that make what she said possible. we have so much work to do other than just accepting her apology. >> the way disney is actually taking up on that. their senior ranks have such diversity. >> indeed. >> helped make an informed decision here really matter. institutional trust is their asset and they know that. >> here's the positive. we are having the conversation. >> exactly. >> we weren't having it two days ago. those beliefs and words were being spoken in the privacy of homes. now roseanne has said it out loud and we'll say, no, thanks. thank you very much. >>> coming up, markets set to open in a few minutes. after the dow tanked tuesday. what can we expect today? hear that

but i don't know, i happen to think reciting maya angelou while splashing around in a bikini is exactlyeeds right now. [ applause ] this is good. this is from major league soccer match between the l.a. galaxy, our hometown team, and the montreal impact. the galaxy won the game but not before their star forward ibrahimovic might have delivered the worst performance by an athlete since kazam. >> something happened here off the ball fromromromromromromrom inrahim vich. should be a red card. >> something officials in major league soccer will be forced to pay attention to this season -- >> jimmy: a red card and a sad card for that. [ laughter ] [ applause ] maybe he fell down because he was overcome with guilt? brandi chastain, one of the great american soccer players of all-time, she won two olympic gold medals and two world cups. last night, to honor her many achievements, brandi was inducted into the bay area sports hall of fame. and at the ceremony, they unveiled this plaque. [ audience moaning ] >> jimmy: exactly. it looks nothing like brandi at all. it looks more like a russian power l

maya angelou, robert frost, recently elizabeth alexander. she just became president at -- of a foundation. robert, i do not think you ever read at an inauguration. whether i do not remember, i try to forget a lot about the incumbent. he did not have a poet at his inauguration, even though it was the biggest crowd ever. [laughter] no poets, as far as we know. i am told that when jfk was a senator, he said in 1956 if more politicians knew poetry and more poets knew politics, the world would be a better place to live and that may well be true. what we do know is that many presidents have consciously used meter, rhyme, alliteration, and cadence to get people's attention. let me now tell you how we're going to proceed. each of our panelists will speak for less than 10 minutes and then i will help, i doubt they will need much help and having a conversation with each other, they seem a spirited crew. after they do that for a while we will have q&a from the audience and then there will be book signing for those who will hopefully get some interestin
