Maya Angelou's quote "Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future, and renders the present inaccessible" means that prejudice creates misunderstandings based on historical biases, impedes progress by perpetuating harmful attitudes, and hinders meaningful interactions in the present moment. It emphasizes the destructive nature of prejudice on individuals and society as a whole.
