As word continues to spread about the passing of Maya Angelou Wednesday morning, several community members are stopping to pay tribute to the renowned poet, author and civil rights activist. Dr. Angelou has also been a big part of Wake Forest University over the years where she served as Reynolds Professor of American Studies.
