Beschreibung

<p><b><i>'In the first decade of the twentieth century, it was not a good time to be born black, or woman, in America.' <br></i><br>So begins this stunning portrait of Vivian Baxter Johnson: the first black woman officer in the Merchant Marines, purveyor of a gambling business and rooming house, and mother to Maya Angelou, beloved and bestselling author I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS.</b><br><br><b>'A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' </b>BARACK OBAMA<br><br>Anyone who's read the classic, <i>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</i>, knows Maya Angelou was raised by her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. In <i>Mom &amp; Me &amp; Mom</i>, Angelou details what brought her mother to send her away and unearths the well of emotions Angelou experienced long afterward as a result. While Angelou's six autobiographies tell of her out in the world, influencing and learning from statesmen and cultural icons, <i>Mom &amp;</i> <i>Me &amp; Mom </i>shares the intimate, emotional story about her own family.<br><br><b>'She moved through the world with unshakeable calm, confidence and a fierce grace . . . She will always be the rainbow in my clouds' </b>OPRAH WINFREY<br><br> <b>'She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had nineteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate' </b>TONI MORRISON</p>
