American Family Insurance underwrites Maya Angelou film on PBS

American Family Insurance is an underwriter of the film, “American Masters: Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise," premiering nationwide on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at 8 p.m. on PBS (check local listings). The thought-provoking film reflects on how important events of history, culture, and the arts shaped Dr. Maya Angelou’s life. Her work has become a global symbol of peace, humility and freedom.

“Viewers of this film will not only appreciate the powerful insights from Maya Angelou but become more mindful of how we relate to others,” says Jim St. Vincent, American Family Insurance vice president, human resources. “Awareness is an important first step, and we recognize that an inclusive culture - inside and outside the workplace - has a positive effect on relationships with our customers, co-workers and communities.” 

American Family views this film as an important way to raise awareness around diversity and inclusion issues. The film will stream after the broadcast premiere at pbs.org/americanmasters.
