Maya Angelou explained why she married Paul Du Feu.

Paul Du Feu was married to Maya Angelou.He was a construction worker, a painter, and once did a nude centerfold for a magazine.He wrote a sexual memoir before marrying Angelou.In 1975, People Magazine interviewed Paul Du Feu and his wife, Maya Angelou, about their interracial marriage.

Maya recalls that this tall, handsome Englishman came up and asked if she was alone.He told me that I was the most beautiful woman in the world and that he could take me to dinner right now.We have never been apart a single night since.

The de rigueur is six feet tall.Paul had the idea of legalization.Angelou notes that he never whitemailed him.He said he would be willing to live together if I were British or Black.He wanted to make a public statement.Maya says, "We love each other so much, that we have been married twice since, and we will do it again."

A lot of people wondered why she married a man who was a builder.

Maya is similar to her husband in that she is nonintellectual.Maya asked, "A painter paints, a builder builds, and a writer writes, but does an intellectual intellect?"We had to get away from that nonsense.
