She was born Marguerite Annie Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri and spent much of her childhood in Stamps, Arkansas. She experienced trauma early in life when she was raped at the age of 7 by her mother's boyfriend, who was subsequently killed by her uncles. Angelou was so traumatized by the incident that she became mute for several years, using writing as a form of self-expression. Angelou eventually moved to San Francisco, California, where she began performing in the arts scene and joined the civil rights movement. She worked with both Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, and her activism inspired much of her later writing. Angelou's first memoir, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, was published in 1969 and became a best-seller. The book is a coming-of-age story that explores Angelou's childhood...", "image":{ "@type":"ImageObject", "url":"https://img.poemhunter.com/i/p/34/6834_b_5936.jpg" }, "jobTitle":"poet, author", "name":"Maya Angelou", "url":"https://www.poemhunter.com/maya-angelou/" }, { "@id": "https://www.poemhunter.com", "@type": "Organization", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "addressCountry": "USA", "addressRegion": "San Francisco", "postalCode": "CA 94104", "streetAddress": "548 Market St. PMB 90333" }, "contactPoint": [{ "@type": "ContactPoint", "contactType": "customer support", "telephone": "+1 (650) 488-8186" }], "description": "Poems from different poets all around the world.

It was our people falling. It was another lynching, yet another Black man hanging on a tree. One more woman ambushed and raped. A Black boy whipped and maimed. It was hounds on the trail of a man running through slimy swamps. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> Then the question began to live under my blankets: How did lesbianism begin? What were the symptoms? The public library gave information on the finished lesbian&#151;and that woefully sketchy&#151;but on the growth of a lesbian, there was nothing. I did discover that the difference between hermaphrodites and lesbians was that hermaphrodites were "born that way." It was impossible to determine whether lesbians budded gradually, or burst into being with a suddenness that dismayed them as much as it repelled society. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> People in Stamps used to say that the whites in our town were so prejudiced that a Negro couldn't buy vanilla ice cream. Except on July Fourth. Other days he had to be satisfied with chocolate. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> In Stamps the segregation was so complete that most Black children didn't really, absolutely know what whites looked like. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> During those years in Stamps, I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare. He was my first white love.... it was Shakespeare who said, "When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes." It was a state of mind with which I found myself most familiar. I pacified myself about his whiteness by saying that after all he had been dead so long it couldn't matter to anyone any more. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> This might be the end of the world. If Joe lost we were back in slavery and beyond help. It would all be true, the accusations that we were lower types of human beings. Only a little higher than apes. True that we were stupid and ugly and lazy and dirty and, unlucky and worst of all, that God Himself hated us and ordained us to be hewers of wood and drawers of water, forever and ever, world without end. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> While the rest of the world has been improving technology, Ghana has been improving the quality of man's humanity to man. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed. </p> </div> </div> <div class="phList"> <div class="phlRow"> <p class="phlQuoteContent"> Nature has no mercy at all.
