Growing up in upstate New York during the 1960s, Christopher reflects on the light cast on those times and that country by Maya Angelou’s memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
The renowned Afro-American poet Maya Angelou wrote a powerful account of her childhood and adolescence in the South and in California: violence and guilt, fear and longing, learning and hope.
