Maya Angelou’s debut memoir is a poetic journey of liberation and a glorious beating of wings in an oppressive world. This inspiring account of the author's childhood and youth in the 1930s and 40s captures a child's view of the inexplicable violence of the adult world and the cruelty of racism. From rural Arkansas to the cities of California, Angelou traces a touching portrait of the Black community in the United States during segregation and the awakening of a consciousness toward emancipation.
Maya Angelou was an American memoirist, essayist, poet, and civil rights activist.

The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of 17 and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
