Maya Angelou -- American History

Celebrating American History in February

Maya Angelou --

Maya Angelou was an American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist who is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential writers of the 20th century. She is best known for her memoir, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," which explores her experiences growing up as a black girl in the Jim Crow South. Angelou's work is characterized by its lyrical style, its focus on themes of identity, race, and gender, and its ability to capture the complexities and nuances of the human experience.

Black History Month is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, and in October in the United Kingdom. The observance was first established as "Negro History Week" by historian Carter G. Woodson in 1926, and later expanded to a month-long celebration in 1976. The goal of Black History Month is to recognize and honor the contributions and achievements of African Americans throughout history.
