Maya Angelou took the harshest experiences in her life and turned them into words of triumph, justice and hope. Her memoirs and her poems told of her survival, and uplifted people around the world. Her first book, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” is a classic of American literature. Her voice and the rhythm of her speech were absolutely unique. In this episode you’ll hear that iconic voice, in interviews, speeches and conversations, and be reminded why she was one of the most inspiring figures of the past century.
