Description

Born in Missouri in 1928, Maya Angelou had a difficult childhood. Jim Crow laws segregated blacks and whites within the South. Her circle of relatives life was once unstable every now and then. But just like her poem, “Still I Upward thrust,” Angelou was once ready to raise herself out of her situation and flourish. She moved to California and become the primary black—and first female—streetcar operator before following her interest in dance. She become a professional performer in her twenties and toured the U.S. and Europe as an opera star and calypso dancer. But Angelou’s writing become her defining talent. Her poems and books, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, brought her international acclaim.
