The fourth volume of Maya Angelou's enthralling biography, and often called her most interesting piece. Spanning from the late 50's to 60's, we find how Maya immersed herself in the world of Black writers and artists in Harlem and in her later travels to Africa. We see her personal role in the Civil Rights Movement and her interactions with its leaders such as Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Reading as part biography and part social commentary, this is a special insight into the time and the person of Maya Angelou.
