Maya In the Middle









The Reverend Jeremiah Wright, conspicuously absent from his prescheduled events this past week, surfaced last night in a most unexpected place--his home city of Chicago--at St. Sabina Catholic Church, a predominantly black congregation, where poet Maya Angelou was being honored in advance of her 82nd birthday upcoming on April 4th.

Maya has been an outspoken and steadfast supporter of Senator Hillary Clinton, and continues to proclaim her support for Clinton in spite of the fact that she acknowledges Obama as a worthy opponent. She is also a close friend and mentor to Oprah Winfrey, Obama's chief patron, and to Wright, Obama's self-proclaimed spiritual mentor.
