—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
“I have a fair amount of faith that women won’t sit back and allow South Africa to become a totally male-dominated new society. The women in South Africa have shown that they are strong, and I think they will make their voices heard.”

Till China and Africa meet,
And the river jumps over the mountain
And the salmon sing in the street.”
