Let it to my daughter By Maya Angelo Dear daughter, This letter has taken an extraordinary time getting itself together. I have all along known that I wanted to tell you directly of some lessons I have learned in under what conditions I have learned them.

I gave birth to one child, a son, but I have thousands of daughters, your black and white Jewish and Muslim, Asian, Spanish speaking, native American and Elliot. You were fat and thin and pretty in plain *** and straight educated unlettered, and I was speaking to you all. Here is my offering to you
