Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Abstract: This 5 page paper considers the three ways that Maya Angelou argued that second class citizens infringed on her personal development as she grew up in the pre-Civil War south. This paper reflects on whether these experiences were universal or if they were universal to the way any young people grew up during this era. No additional sources cited.
