Marguerite Johnson, better known as Maya Angelou, was a renowned poet, novelist, and civil rights activist. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, her autobiography, continues to be a bestseller. Angelou is regarded as the black community's voice. Her comments mirrored the pain and raged for their stillness that had been kept in check. She received countless honors and is still lauded for her moving compositions and a voice that helped her overcome the challenges life had placed at her. Her artistic creations reflect her own life experiences. She infused her writing with life by using a raw style. There was a piercing voice for her own people and a yearning for independence. Her life had been filled with a succession of terrifying events that had temporarily silenced her voice. The famous woman, who became a mother when still a teenager, is responsible for some of the most influential works in English literature. This book sheds light on the inspirational life story of this well-known author and prolific author.
