Maya Angelou is among the most exquisite and rare of American originals. Ms.

Maya Angelou has penned an original poem for the event � �An Amazing Peace�
� which will be delivered in a spoken word performance backed by the National
Symphony (under conductor Charlie Barnett) and the D.C. Children�s Choir.
Maya Angelou�s poem is already generating significant interest. This week, Ms.
Angelou will travel to Chicago to tape an episode of �Oprah,� which is set to air on
Monday, December 5. The Christmas Pageant of Peace appearance was part of a media
plan to help create awareness of Ms. Angelou�s one-hour Hallmark Channel Original

Hallmark Channel, Friday, December 9 (7/6 c) with encores on Christmas Day (check

son and family and extended family, including musical legends, Nickolas Ashford and
Valerie Simpson.
The annual event, free and open to the public, is staged on the southern ellipse
of the White House. In 1923, Calvin Coolidge became the first President to light the
National Christmas Tree. Since then, the tree lighting ceremony by the President has
signaled the start of the holiday season for all Americans.
Maya Angelou is the author of thirteen best-selling books. The latest Hallelujah!
The Welcome Table is a beautiful recipe book that sifts food and cherished memories in
equal parts. As she does on every special occasion, Maya Angelou is in the kitchen
preparing a memory-laden feast for those she loves.
Maya Angelou has had a product line exclusively with Hallmark Cards for four
years.
