Maya Angelou: A Glorious Celebration by Gillespie, Butler, and Long
Having heard of but never read about Maya Angelou, this attractive, concise biography caught my attention. Now that I have enjoyed the read, I look at myself wondering why I chose to waste so much of my life disengaging. By the time she was 20, Maya Angelou had lived as much life as I did in double if not triple that time.
Her many loves, campaigns, heartbreaks fostered a desire to share her desire to succeed well with others. Much of her life commends, much leaves one wondering about decisions made with regard to men. The former almost, but does not quite whitewash the latter.
She does inspire; I am glad to be not so ignorant of her contribution to raising the African-American standard in the US.

Disengaging - definitely a problem I continue to deal with. I think I'll check out this book and read how Maya didn't!

Maya Angelou? Never heard about her before. To tell you the truth i heard a lot of news about African American and i find it interesting to read information about them specially about Maya.
