Maya Angelou (African-American Biographies (Raintree))

It does not seem possible that one person can do so many things. She is a poet and author. She is a playwright. She is an actress, producer, and director. She is a singer and dancer, a teacher and speaker. She is a civil rights activist. She is a mother and grandmother. But most of all, she is a survivor. She has survived abuse and racism. She has survived poverty and sadness. She is Maya Angelou, one of the great voices of American literature.
