Join us as we explore the concerns of African Americans in the twentieth century through the writings of Maya Angelou. Born in 1928, Angelou witnessed and wrote about rural poverty, The Great Migration, the Harlem Writers Guild, and the civil rights and feminist movements. The class will read both of Angelou’s well known semi-autobiographical novels, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and The Heart of a Woman.

Format: Participants will research and lead a discussion on one of the issues contained in the books. The class will also discuss some of Angelou’s poetry and her influence on younger black female writers. This is a Zoom video conferencing class.

Resources/Expenses: New and used copies of both books are available on Amazon or Alibris for a total of $6.00 and up
