Booker began his political career as a Newark City Councilor from 1998 to 2002.

Maya Angelou (i/ˈmaɪ.ə ˈændʒəloʊ/; born Marguerite Annie Johnson; April 4, 1928 – May 28, 2014) was an American author, poet, and civil rights activist. She published seven autobiographies, three books of essays, and several books of poetry, and was credited with a list of plays, movies, and television shows spanning over 50 years. She received dozens of awards and more than 50 honorary degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
She became a poet and writer after a series of occupations as a young adult, including fry cook, prostitute, nightclub dancer and performer, cast member of the opera Porgy and Bess, coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and journalist in Egypt and Ghana during the decolonization of Africa. She was an actor, writer, director, and producer of plays, movies, and public television programs. In 1982, she earned the first lifetime Reynolds Professorship of American Studies at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. She was active in the Civil Rights movement, and worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. Beginning in the 1990s, she made around 80 appearances a year on the lecture circuit, something she continued into her eighties. In 1993, Angelou recited her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" (1993) at President Bill Clinton's inauguration, making her the first poet to make an inaugural recitation since Robert Frost at President John F. Kennedy's inauguration in 1961.

New Jersey senator slams Donald Trump, urges Americans to vote for Hillary Clinton
Earlier this month, New Jersey Senator, Cory Booker, sat down with Complex News anchors Nadeska Alexis, Emily Oberg and Jinx to discuss the tumultuous 2016 presidential election cycle, at YouTube studios in New York. Booker explained that authenticity is one of the most important qualities in a candidate, and he discussed the challenging issues facing Donald Trump and fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton—including the long road ahead to reform our flawed criminal justice system. And, of course we had to ask if he would consider running for president in 2020. See the full discussion in the video above.

During a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC), U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), challenged FBI Director James Comey, who was testifying before the Committee, to seek national, data-based solutions to address racial bias in policing. Sen.

"Republican Steve Lonegan, who is running against Cory Booker for Senate in New Jersey, on Tuesday called his rival's comments about speculation on his sexuality "weird" and said the Newark mayor was "acting ambiguous." Booker recently addressed rumors about his sexuality, telling The Washington Post, 'People who think I'm gay, some part of me thinks it's wonderful. Because I want to challenge people on their homophobia.'"* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.
