Still Got That On The Shelf: Books Every Black Girl Read Back In The Day

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
It’s Maya Angelou. Do I really need to say more? The book is one of the great autobiographies out there and shares the humble beginnings and the struggles with which Angelou had to deal with while growing up (including sexual abuse at a very young age, homelessness and overt racism). Eventually, her spirit and strength helps her overcome a great deal and find a new confidence and love fo herself. Such a story has been quite an inspiring one since it was published way back in 1969.
