Hennes liv og arbeid var til stor inspirasjon for mange på 60- og 70 tallet og for de generasjoner som kom etterpå. Hennes bøker står fortsatt på skole-pensumet verden over. Hun var en nær venn av både James Baldwin og Malcolm X. Hun snakket 6 språk, vant uttalige priser og var mentor for mange kunstnere bl. a. Oprah Winfrey.
