From the beloved and bestselling author of I KNOW WHY THE CAGED
BIRD SINGS, this memoir chronicles Maya Angelou's involvement with
the civil rights movement. 'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and
a truly phenomenal woman' BARACK OBAMA Maya Angelou's seven volumes
of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of
this extraordinary writer. Loving the world, she also knows its
cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme
poverty, but also hope, joy, achievement and celebration. The
fourth volume of her enthralling autobiography finds Maya Angelou
immersed in the world of black writers and artists in Harlem,
working in the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King. 'She
moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a
fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds'
OPRAH WINFREY 'She was important in so many ways. She launched
African American women writing in the United States. She was
generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a
real original. There is no duplicate' TONI MORRISON
