Maya Angelou was a poet, author, dancer, singer, and civil rights activist. Born Marguerite Johnson on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, she had a difficult childhood, but overcame many challenges to become a successful and influential figure.

She worked as a writer and editor for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and traveled to Africa to study the decolonization movement.
She published her first book, an autobiography called I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, in 1969. She tells the story of her traumatic childhood and adolescence. The book became a critical and commercial success, and it helped to make Angelou a household name.
Angelou went on to write several more autobiographies, as well as poetry, essays, and plays. She also worked as a film and television actress, and she served as a professor at several universities.
Angelou was a powerful and inspiring figure in the anti-racism struggle. This melanin magic Queen spoke out against injustice and inequality, and she used her art to promote peace and understanding.
Angelou died in 2014 at the age of 86.
