Maya Angelou

Today in class, we read two poems from Maya Angelou, which were, “The Mothering Blackness” and “The Black Family Pledge”. So far Maya Angelou Poems have been my favorite and not only because she is an black writer, her poems teach me that black people should stick together and stop going against each other. With “The Black Family Pledge” she talk about different things that are happening in today’s society for as younger people not respecting their elderly and not appreciating what their ancestors have fought for us people today. They have fought for a lot of things and died for a lot of things so that we can have the freedom that they couldn’t have.
