Deeply moving, historically rich, and told in Angelou’s incomparable voice.
In this sixth volume of her autobiography, Maya Angelou recounts her return from Africa to the United States in the 1960s — a time of seismic change. She reflects on the civil rights movement, her close friendships with Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and her own evolving journey as a writer and activist. Personal experience and historical transformation are woven together with the poetic grace that defines all of Angelou’s work.
“History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”
Perfect for fans of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and The Heart of a Woman (Maya Angelou), and Men We Reaped (Jesmyn Ward).
