Pasi e d\u00ebgjova p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb z\u00ebrin e Maya Angelou, nuk mund ta mendoja faktin q\u00eb ajo do t\u00eb hesht\u00eb ndonj\u00ebher\u00eb. Z\u00ebri i saj kishte nj\u00eb q\u00ebllim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ish-Marguerite Ann Johnson, autorja e famshme e s\u00eb cil\u00ebs \u201cI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings\u201d ishte nj\u00eb nd\u00ebr autobiografit\u00eb e para t\u00eb nj\u00eb gruaje zezake t\u00eb shekullit XX q\u00eb arriti nj\u00eb audienc\u00eb nd\u00ebrkomb\u00ebtare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angelou u b\u00eb nj\u00eb ikon\u00eb gjat\u00eb L\u00ebvizjes p\u00ebr t\u00eb Drejtat Civile dhe ishte mike e ngusht\u00eb me poet\u00ebt Sonia Sanchez, Amiri Baraka, James Baldwin, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr dhe shum\u00eb t\u00eb tjer\u00eb. Ajo q\u00eb e b\u00ebnte unike k\u00ebt\u00eb shkrimtare brilante, ishte puna e saj e vazhdueshme p\u00ebrve\u00e7 t\u00eb shkruarit. Gjat\u00eb gjith\u00eb jet\u00ebs, ajo u angazhua kund\u00ebr racizmit dhe veprimtaria e saj n\u00eb humaniz\u00ebm e n\u00eb art ishte e pandalshme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rrug\u00ebtimi drejt t\u00eb qenurit grua u form\u00ebsua nga qasja politike dhe sfiduese e Maya , si dhe nga feminizmi q\u00eb ajo trajtonte n\u00eb veprimtarin\u00eb e saj poetike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kur ndoqa shkoll\u00ebn katolike ku shumica p\u00ebrb\u00ebhej nga t\u00eb bardh\u00ebt, n\u00eb Dearborn, Michigan n\u00eb fillim t\u00eb viteve 1980, fjal\u00ebt e Angelou ishin arm\u00eb psikologjike p\u00ebr mbijetes\u00eb. Kur u botua \u201cStill I Rise\u201d n\u00eb vitin 1978, isha n\u00eb klas\u00ebn e dyt\u00eb. Nj\u00eb f\u00ebmij\u00eb i lindur pas L\u00ebvizjes p\u00ebr t\u00eb Drejtat Civile, me g\u00ebrsheta afrikane, aft\u00ebsi t\u00eb avancuara leximi dhe qasje t\u00eb pakufizuar n\u00eb librat e n\u00ebn\u00ebs sime, kjo b\u00ebri q\u00eb t\u00eb bie n\u00eb dashuri me poezit\u00eb n\u00eb mosh\u00eb t\u00eb hershme. N\u00ebna ime ishte nj\u00eb lexuese e shpejt\u00eb e librave. Rafti i librave n\u00eb dhom\u00ebn e saj t\u00eb gjumit ishte i mbushur me kujtime, biografi rreth viteve t\u00eb ’60ta, fatmir\u00ebsisht, me shkrimet e Maya Angelou, Lorraine Hansberry dhe Alice Walker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
M\u00eb ndiqnin rrug\u00ebs kur shkoja n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi dhe p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb n\u00eb klas\u00ebn e tret\u00eb shok\u00ebt e mi t\u00eb shkoll\u00ebs m\u00eb quanin “zezake”. Ata na ndoq\u00ebn n\u00eb an\u00ebn tjet\u00ebr t\u00eb rrug\u00ebs Tireman, vija ndar\u00ebse midis Detroitit dhe Dearbornit, ku popullsia m\u00eb e madhe e arab\u00ebve ende jeton jasht\u00eb Lindjes s\u00eb Mesme. “Shkoni n\u00eb sht\u00ebpi, zezak\u00eb!” ata na b\u00ebrtit\u00ebn mua dhe motr\u00ebs sime nd\u00ebrsa ecnim me shpejt\u00ebsi (ne nuk vrapuam kurr\u00eb ) drejt sht\u00ebpis\u00eb, duke e ditur q\u00eb v\u00ebllez\u00ebrit tan\u00eb t\u00eb m\u00ebdhenj do t\u00eb ishin n\u00eb sheshin e loj\u00ebrave p\u00ebr t’u kthyer borxhin dit\u00ebn tjet\u00ebr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shtat\u00eb vje\u00e7. Kjo \u00ebsht\u00eb koha kur vajzat m\u00ebsojn\u00eb se si t\u00eb nderohen ‘p\u00ebr at\u00eb se kush jemi ne n\u00eb t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00eb dhe n\u00eb lidhje me m\u00ebnyr\u00ebn se si na sheh bota. Pik\u00ebrisht k\u00ebtu formohet nj\u00eb p\u00ebrspektiv\u00eb feministe – ai momenti kur poezia dhe vajz\u00ebria, pafaj\u00ebsia e humbur dhe raca p\u00ebrplasen me disa djem t\u00eb bardh\u00eb, t\u00eb eg\u00ebr, me shkopinj q\u00eb t\u00eb ndjekin p\u00ebrs\u00ebri deri n\u00eb vendin ” ku p\u00ebrket”, kur n\u00eb fakt ti ke menduar se e gjith\u00eb bota ishte e jotja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00eb mosh\u00ebn 7-vje\u00e7are, Angelou heshti pasi i dashuri i n\u00ebn\u00ebs s\u00eb saj e p\u00ebrdhunoi. Ajo e bindi veten se z\u00ebri i saj e kishte vrar\u00eb, k\u00ebshtu q\u00eb ndaloi s\u00eb foluri p\u00ebr gjasht\u00eb vite. Kjo \u00ebsht\u00eb historia e shum\u00eb shoqeve t\u00eb mia q\u00eb u dhunuan n\u00eb sht\u00ebpit\u00eb e tyre pa mbrojtje. Ky fillim i p\u00ebrbashk\u00ebt, i veshur me tragjedi, do t\u00eb b\u00ebhej pik\u00ebnisja e saj si e mbijetuar, si intelektuale, si n\u00ebn\u00eb beqare, si aktiviste, si avokate radikale dhe si z\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb drejtat e grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besimi i saj n\u00eb magjin\u00eb brenda gjuh\u00ebs dhe mendjemadh\u00ebsis\u00eb s\u00eb plotkuptimt\u00eb m\u00eb b\u00ebn\u00eb t\u00eb ndihesha krenare n\u00eb trupin tim t\u00eb dob\u00ebt t\u00eb vajz\u00ebs zezake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puna e saj frym\u00ebzoi nj\u00eb erotik\u00eb e cila ishte e nevojshme, e pafalshme, q\u00eb na fuqizoi ne si vajza adoleshente n\u00eb vitet \u201980, nd\u00ebrsa po zbulonim shkrimtare gra q\u00eb na i kishin fshehur \u2013 bell hooks, Ntozak\u00eb Shange, Audre Lorde dhe Sonia Sanchez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Puna e hershme e Angelou-t b\u00ebri q\u00eb shum\u00eb prej nesh t’i rritnim flok\u00ebt n\u00eb m\u00ebnyr\u00eb natyrale, t\u00eb organizoheshim n\u00eb kampuset tona t\u00eb kolegjit dhe t\u00eb frik\u00ebsoheshim m\u00eb pak p\u00ebr t\u00eb shfaqur ekzistenc\u00ebn ton\u00eb. N\u00eb vitet \u201990 ne ishim organizator\u00eb, aktivist\u00eb dhe shkrimtar\u00eb t\u00eb zhurmsh\u00ebm e me pasion , ishim t\u00eb pajisur me mikrofona n\u00eb koh\u00ebn kur poezia dhe skena e hip-hopit ishte e dominuar nga burrat n\u00eb t\u00eb gjith\u00eb vendin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Janet Jackson ishte Justice dhe Tupac ishte gjall\u00eb dhe n\u00eb vitin 1993, vepra e Angelou po p\u00ebrflitej mes brezi t\u00eb ri vajzash p\u00ebrmes Poetic Justice t\u00eb regjisorit John Singleton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(T\u00eb gjith\u00eb po binin n\u00eb dashuri me poezin\u00eb Lucky)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Angelou ishte nj\u00eb z\u00eb i shquar i feminizmit dhe pushtetit mes grave t\u00eb reja, shum\u00eb koh\u00eb p\u00ebrpara se shum\u00eb prej nesh t\u00eb kuptonin ndikimin politik dhe social q\u00eb arti mund t\u00eb kishte n\u00eb institucione dhe politik\u00eb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u00ebr vite me radh\u00eb ajo ishte z\u00ebri i vet\u00ebm i poetes zezake q\u00eb e njihja v\u00ebrtet dhe m\u00eb e r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishmja, mund ta kuptoja. Kishte dhe ka nj\u00eb qasje n\u00eb pun\u00ebn e saj, e cila e lejoi at\u00eb t\u00eb prekte jet\u00ebn e vajzave q\u00eb nuk studionin teorin\u00eb feministe, por t\u00eb cilat thjesht po kalonin ritin e kalimit p\u00ebr t’u b\u00ebr\u00eb gra me ngjyr\u00eb n\u00eb nj\u00eb vend q\u00eb e p\u00ebrkufizonte bukurin\u00eb me di\u00e7ka tjet\u00ebr, dhe jo me reflektimin e tyre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nj\u00eb vend ku t\u00eb jesh vajz\u00eb mund t\u00eb jet\u00eb e rrezikshme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N\u00eb mosh\u00ebn 7-vje\u00e7are, kur Angelou ishte n\u00eb heshtje, mij\u00ebra vajza t\u00eb reja n\u00eb mbar\u00eb bot\u00ebn hesht\u00ebn p\u00ebr t\u00eb nj\u00ebjt\u00ebn arsye. Ajo heshtje kolektive q\u00eb lidh t\u00eb gjitha grat\u00eb q\u00eb dhunohen, ato t\u00eb cilave u thuhet se nuk jan\u00eb mjaft t\u00eb bukura, z\u00ebrat e tyre dhe britmat e zeza ua hesht\u00ebn pjes\u00ebn m\u00eb t\u00eb madhe t\u00eb jet\u00ebs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kjo poete e re dhe e zjarrt\u00eb, e cila lexoi nj\u00eb poem\u00eb t\u00eb gruas zezake, “Statuja e zez\u00eb e Liris\u00eb”, n\u00eb Teatrin Apollo n\u00eb 1995, duke fituar nj\u00eb audienc\u00eb fam\u00ebkeqe e t\u00eb ashp\u00ebr t\u00eb Harlemit, ishte gjithashtu shum\u00eb e qet\u00eb dhe e turpshme n\u00eb shkoll\u00ebn fillore e rrethuar nga student\u00eb t\u00eb bardh\u00eb polak\u00eb dhe murgesha. Un\u00eb nuk do t\u00eb mund ta shkruaja at\u00eb poezi n\u00eb mosh\u00ebn 19-vje\u00e7are, n\u00ebse nuk do t\u00eb inspirohesha ngaDr. Maya Angelou.

Kur ajo theu heshtjen e saj me “I know why the caged bird sings”, pavar\u00ebsisht nga disa prej tragjedive t\u00eb historis\u00eb s\u00eb saj t\u00eb jet\u00ebs, ajo pa frik\u00eb krijoi nj\u00eb hap\u00ebsir\u00eb t\u00eb sigurt p\u00ebr t\u00eb gjith\u00eb ne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
