I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings , and Now Sheba Sing the Song . But even after writing so many novels, Angelou says she still trying something with the form. Angelou would not speak again until provoked by a grade school teacher, Mrs. Flowers. Her teacher taught her the only way to truly love poetry was to speak it. Reading poetry was how Angelou found her voice. Her newly published book at the time of the interview, Now Sheba Sings the Song Feelings, she said, understood that.

The idea that it, this creation, creator, it, loves me, me not me generically, but me, maya angelou is almost more it is more than I can comprehend

The New Sun An Interview with Maya Angelou
by David Frost David Frost: And one of your teachers, one of your religious teachers, said made you say, "God loves me, God loves me, God loves me," again and again, and then said, "Now try to know it." Maya Angelou: Yes, yes. DF: What was the liberating effect of knowing it? MA: David Frost. DF: Maya Angelou. MA: As the cockney say, "I come all over queer." Really. The idea that it, this creation, creator, it, loves me, me not me generically, but me, Maya Angelou is almost more it is more than I can comprehend. It fills me. It enters and makes me go inflate like a balloon. Really. The most amazing thing. I can't know it too frequently. I can't know it completely. My heart might burst. My veins might boil up, and my blood might boil up in my veins. My eyes would pop out. My navel would thump. My feet would grow about six inches on either side. Really it has a physiological impact on me. And I can't again, it's something I can't explain. It's probably what people mean when they say, "I got saved last week or last year." I suppose that's what they mean. But that knowledge comes to me fresh each time, as if I never knew it before. DF: In your poem to the U.N., you said, "We, this people, on a small and lonely plant traveling through casual space, passed a lot of stars, across a way of indifferent suns to a destination where all signs tell us it is possible and imperative that we discover a brave and startling truth."

Autobiography: Maya Angelou
by
Anna K. Bartow
Contents of Curriculum Unit 85.03.03:
To Guide Entry
Adolescence is a period in a person’s life when interest, thoughts, and preoccupation with the self is high. What better moment is there to cash in on students’ thoughts about themselves and their lives than when they are in high school? At this time they begin to see themselves as somewhat separate from their families, and they can reflect back on their “youth” as well as give serious thought to their future. In the past I have had fascinating experiences with students’ thinking and writing when I asked them to write an odyssey of their life as a final project for a course on the Odyssey by Homer. Many students, who felt that other kinds of writing were boring, cumbersome, and difficult, could write pages of interesting composition about their own lives. Autobiography, in all its variations, is a natural extension of this process. I am basing this unit of autobiography on the novels of Maya Angelou. Students who study this unit will be asked to read I Know Why The Caged

Maya Angelou Sesame Street is proud to welcome Dr. Maya Angelou, a true Renaissance woman. Her work has touched people of all generations and backgrounds, and now she shares her passion and exuberance with the Sesame Street Muppets! During her visit with the gang on Sesame Street, she captures the heart of at least one furry creature as she helps Baby Natasha master the letter N. Dr. Angelou has made a lifelong commitment to exemplifying what she calls a rainbow: a life that is a bright shining example to others. "Each of us has a rainbow some of us have four or five," she explains. Inspired by the optimism and resilience of minority kids, Dr. Angelou has in turn inspired countless people around the world with her strength and her art. Hailed for her best-selling books of poetry and prose including I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings , an autobiographical account of her youth she is also a renowned teacher, historian, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director. In 1992, Dr. Angelou was invited to compose and recite a poem to celebrate President Clinton's 1992 inauguration, the first poet thus honored since Robert Frost. Among her current projects is a book series on children from different cultures.

Tragic Health Burden for Minorities The Maya Angelou Research Center on Minority Health at Wake Forest University School of Medicine is addressing one of the most compelling demographic trends in modern American history—the increasing diversity of the U.S. population. By 2050, the country will be split almost evenly between non-Hispanic Whites and all other minority groups. Initially focused on African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, and American Indians, the expertise developed at the Angelou Center will position it as a key national resource to reduce the gap in health disparities for an increasingly diverse society. One year before the Angelou Center opened in 2002, Congress authorized a National Healthcare Disparities Report by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The AHRQ, in tandem with the Institute of Medicine, identified key issues for study related to health disparities for racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S.—the role of socioeconomic status, access to care, quality of services, and geography. The urgency behind the federal mandate is based on these facts: The gap between blacks and whites in (age-adjusted) death rate from all causes has decreased only slightly from 1950 to 2000.

Crowds gather at the IU Auditorium to hear Maya Angelou speak April 11.
“Find some poetry. Memorize it. Keep it for yourself so you can pull it up—not from the computer, but from the original computer—when you need it. And you will need it.” —Maya Angelou
A rainbow found its way into the Indiana University Auditorium in Bloomington on April 11 in the form of Maya Angelou, whose lecture was co-sponsored by Union Board and the Indiana Lectures series. “’When it looked like the sun / wasn’t going to shine anymore, / God put a rainbow / in the clouds,’” she quoted from an old spiritual. “I think the university is a rainbow in the clouds,” said Angelou, who shared a potpourri of poetry, stories and childhood memories with those listeners lucky enough to have a seat in the filled auditorium. Nowand then, she even offered her voice in song—a rich contralto—in celebration of poetry. “I’m what the French call a ‘certain age,’” she told the audience and went on to say that she had left Winston-Salem, N.C., at 6 a.m. on a bus to get to Bloomington. On the way, there were stopovers in Indianapolis and Columbus, but she didn’t mind. “I like Indianapolis because my favorite poet lives there,” Angelou explained, referring to Mari Evans, who taught black literature at IU and received an honorary doctorate at last year’s IUPUI commencement.

MAYA ANGELOU
On the evening of November 15, 2006, Dr. Maya Angelou addressed the Georgia Tech community as part of Finding Common Ground , a student initiative designed to promote intellectual discussion and civility on campus. Dr. Angelou spoke of the power of being a composer of one's own life and the lives of others, having the courage to set an example, and breaking the barriers that we use to divide ourselves. During her talk she read the poem below, which she composed for the United Nations' 50th anniversary in 1995. She asked that the poem be placed on the Tech Web site, and we are pleased to honor her request.
A Brave and Startling Truth
We, this people, on a small and lonely planet
Traveling through casual space
Past aloof stars, across the way of indifferent suns
To a destination where all signs tell us
It is possible and imperative that we learn
A brave and startling truth And when we come to it
To the day of peacemaking
When we release our fingers
From fists of hostility
And allow the pure air to cool our palms When we come to it
When the curtain falls on the minstrel show of hate And faces sooted with scorn are scrubbed clean When battlefields and coliseum No longer rake our unique and particular sons and daughters Up with the bruised and bloody grass To lie in identical plots in foreign soil When the rapacious storming of the churches

On The Pulse Of Morning
by Maya Angelou Delivered January 19, 1993
at the Inauguration of President Clinton
(audio)
A Rock, A River, A Tree
Hosts to species long since departed,
Mark the mastodon.
The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages. But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully, Come, you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny, But seek no haven in my shadow. I will give you no hiding place down here. You, created only a little lower than The angels, have crouched too long in The bruising darkness, Have lain too long Face down in ignorance. Your mouths spelling words Armed for slaughter. The rock cries out today, you may stand on me, But do not hide your face. Across the wall of the world, A river sings a beautiful song
