In this Jan. 14, 2012, file photo, Maya Angelou speaks after receiving the Literary Arts Award during the BET Honors at the Warner Theatre in Washington. Angelou hopes for a time when Black History Month will no longer be needed to explain the contributions of African-Americans in America. "We want to reach a time when there won’t be Black History Month, when black history will be so integrated into American history that we study it along with every other history," she said in an interview from her home in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012.
