An Evening With Maya Angelou

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Dr. Maya Angelou is hailed as one of the great voices of contemporary literature and as a remarkable Renaissance woman.  A poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director, Dr. Angelou continues to travel the world making appearances on college campuses, spreading her legendary wisdom. 

Dr. Angelou has authored numerous best-selling books, including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and her most recent work Letter to My Daughter.  She has the unique ability to shatter opaque prisms of race and class between reader and subject throughout her books of poetry and her autobiographies. With compassion and candor, Dr. Angelou's works speak to the heart, encouraging us to love life, to persevere through its challenges and to share our gifts with others.
