BLACK HISTORY MONTH:
Here is the inspiring person for today: Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou A prolific writer and poet, and activist known for her lyrical prose and regal speaking voice, Angelou was the first Black woman to appear on a quarter. Angelou rose to international prominence after the publication of her groundbreaking autobiography, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," with its account of rape and racism in the segregated South. The recipient of more than 30 honorary degrees, Angelou read On the Pulse of Morning at the 1993 inauguration of former President Bill Clinton. Angelou's reading was the first time an African American woman wrote and presented a poem at a presidential inauguration.
