The Poetic Impact of Maya Angelou
by Sara Shake
We started our History Matters series during February 2015 as part of our honors to Black History Month and have continued throughout the year in hopes to remember some of history’s most notable names.
Sara Shake, founder of Exposed PR, narrates this episode covering the life of Maya Angelou and the incredible impact she left on the world. Angelou was a writer, poet, and civil rights activist. Her first book, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, was an autobiography covering her first seventeen years of life and primed the base for the rest of her literary life.
