Angelou, Maya (1928- ), poet Born on April 4, 1928, in St. Louis, Missouri, Marguerite Johnson was given the name Maya by an older brother, who had been calling her "My," or "Mine." Angelou spent much of her childhood in the care of her grandmother in rural Stamps, Arkansas. Raped at the age of eight by her mother's boyfriend, Angelou went through an extended period of muteness. Her early life is the focus of Angelou's first autobiographical work, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1970). Subsequent volumes of autobiography include Gather Together in My Name The Heart of a Woman (1981), and All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes In 1940 Angelou moved to San Francisco to be with her mother, who had by then remarried. At age 16 she became a streetcar conductor in San Francisco, later working at a variety of jobs. At age 22 she married, but she left her marriage after two and a half years to become a professional dancer. It was in this pursuit that she assumed her professional name. Moving to New York City in the late 1950s, Angelou landed a featured role in a State Department-sponsored production of George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess ; with this troupe she toured 22 countries in Europe and Africa.

The New Sun Newspaper 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."

You are in: Museum of History Hall of Women Maya Angelou Maya Angelou (b. 1928) Born on April 4, 1928 in Saint Louis, Missouri, Marguerite Johnson adopted the name Maya Angelou in her twenties when she performed as a dancer at the Purple Onion cabaret.  Her father, Bailey Johnson, was a navy dietician, and her mother was Vivian Johnson.  She has one brother, Bailey, and when her parents divorced when she was three years, they went to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas.  She loved her grandmother whom she called, "momma, had a deep-brooding love that hung over everything she touched."  Growing up in Stamps, in the Deep South, Maya learned what it was like to grow up in a white controlled world.  She wore hand me down clothes from white women, and was refused to be seen by a white dentist.  She always dreamed that her "nappy black hair" would be transformed into long, flowing blond locks because she thought being a white girl would be so much better.  Her grandmother instilled a strong value for religion while they lived with her.  After five years with their grandmother, Maya's mother asked that they return to St. Louis to live with her.  Unfortunately, her mother's boyfriend raped her, and as a result she did not talk at all for five years.  Her mother did not know what to do so sent her back to her grandmother.  With the nurturing help of Mrs. Flowers, Maya eventually grew more confident and self-assured.

Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute Home Autobiography: Maya Angelou by Anna K. Bartow Contents of Curriculum Unit 85.03.03: Narrative Strategies Sample Lesson Plans Notes ... 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
