Living in the small southern town in America which during that time racially outcasted black citizens due to their racist mentality, Maya Angelou describes what she had to go through every day and the impact it had on her mind and soul. She beautifully narrates her love for literature which was instrumental in opening up her worldview and making her more evolved as a person. Her traumatic experiences and the way she overcame such atrocities surely inspires the reader.
