As long as I'm black - Maya Angelou
FAn emblematic figure in the history of the United States, Maya Angelou is committed body and soul to the American 20th century. The story of this book begins in 1957 when, determined to become a writer, she leaves with her son, Guy, to join Harlem, the epicenter of the intellectual activity of black Americans. She participated in the upheavals of the time. She meets artists like Billie Holiday, James Baldwin and leaders of the civil rights movement, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Finally, conquered by Vusumzi Make, who fights for the freedom of the blacks of South Africa, she leaves to live in Africa, the scene of anti-colonialist struggles, where she becomes a journalist. This autobiographical story draws the portrait of an exceptional woman who has integrated, to the heart of her intimate life, a real world, cultural and political revolution.
