Who Was Maya Angelou?
Ellen Labrecque, Dede Putra
Library Binding (Turtleback Books, Jan. 12, 2016)FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. Born in Missouri in 1928, Maya Angelou had a difficult childhood. Jim Crow laws segregated blacks and whites in the South. Her family life was unstable at times. But much like her poem, ""Still I Rise,"" Angelou was able to lift herself out of her situation and flourish. She moved to California and became the first black--and first female--streetcar operator before following her interest in dance. She became a professional performer in her twenties and toured the U.S. and Europe as an opera star and calypso dancer. But Angelou's writing became her defining talent. Her poems and books, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings , brought her international acclaim.
