Javol Bell bought books to inspire his daughter.
"Just to pick out some things that she touched or she lived with, you know, it's nice. It's a real nice feeling,” said Bell.
Clevette Holbert got the opportunity to meet Angelou years ago, but became overwhelmed as she looked over a picnic basket owned by the woman she says is her personal inspiration.
“She was an idol of mine,” Holbert said. “Memories, even talking about it brings me to tears.”
“It says that she is internationally respected as an author, as a poet, as a person, as an activist, as a woman,” said Laster.
