THE NATOMAS BUZZ | @natomasbuzz

The most recent installation on the “Authors of Our Own Destiny” interactive sculpture pays tribute to the late Maya Angelou.

Angelou was was an award-winning African-American author, poet, dancer, actress, and singer who died on May 28 at age 86.

“If we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls,” quoted on the public canvass is from one of Angelou’s poems “Touched by an Angel.”

The painting also includes an image referencing Angelou’s 1969 autobiography “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” a portrait of the author and picture of a young girl holding a book in her hands.

The community fixture – located on Del Paso Road adjacent from the North Natomas Library – may be painted on by anyone, at anytime, no reservations or approval required before hand.
