Maya Angelou was born in St. Louis, Missouri on April 4th, 1928 and died May 28th, 2014. She was originally named Marguerite Johnson but she later changed it when she became a performer.

Crystal City Underground The first stop on my CPR tour was the Crystal City Underground. This awesome cave sits in the heart Crystal City, which is located about 30 miles south of St Louis, MO. Carved into the Mississippi river bluff this cavern was once an active sand mine serving a local glass plant, Pittsburgh Plate Glass factory, with materials for almost a century.

One of the 2 most heartbreaking parts for me was when Kozol describes the old men leaning on his

Like many African American writers in American history, migration is a defining part of Maya Angelou’s life and character. In her memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya thoroughly discusses each of the moves that shape the person she becomes. From St. Louis at seven to a Southern California junkyard at fifteen, Maya’s life is filled with both voluntary and involuntary migrations.
