Join the English teachers of Patrick Henry Community College for a tribute to American author and poet Maya Angelou. Community members will read excepts from Angelou's book and poems. Guests are invited to enjoy snacks and refreshments at this admission free event. Angelou authored seven autobiographies, three books of essays and several books of poetry, and was credited with a list of plays, movies and television shows spanning more than 50 years. She received dozens of awards and over 30 honorary doctoral degrees. Angelou is best known for her series of seven autobiographies, which focus on her childhood and early adult experiences. The first, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969), tells of her life up to the age of seventeen and brought her international recognition and acclaim.
