Due to the size of the chapel, a live stream will be held by Wake Forest University so that fans, and people that were touched and inspired by Angelou can tune and watch and pay their respects.
Angelou, a professor at Wake Forest University taught American Studies since 1982. Angelou also received an honorary degree from Wake Forest University in 1977. She died while at home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina last week on May 28. The poet was 86-years-old.
The service is scheduled to start at 10 am, EST. Reports are saying that close friend, and TV host, Oprah is expected to be in attendance, as well as other celebrity and honorable guest.
Other events honoring Dr. Maya Angelou have been scheduled by the family, according to the University. No details have been announced yet.
