Subject: Author Maya Angelou dies aged 86
Written By: Philip Eno on 05/28/14 at 8:46 am
One of America's leading literary voices of the last 50 years, Angelou was best-known for her 1969 memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
It was the first of seven volumes of autobiography that traced her life from a childhood of abuse and oppression in the Deep South in the 1930s.
The news was confirmed to the BBC by the mayor's office in her home town of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Her poetry collections included Just Give Me a Cool Drink of Water 'fore I Diiie (1971), And Still I Rise (1978), Now Sheba Sings the Song (1987), and I Shall Not Be Moved (1990).
Her poem On the Pulse of the Morning, written for US President Bill Clinton's first inauguration, sold more than a million copies in the US

Wow...I wake up to this. Words can't express how saddened I am. I remember learning her poems all through middle school in my English classes and also my Black Studies classes. I am truly heartbroken this morning. We've lost a luminary. :\'(

She was the epitome of a Phenominal Woman.
I've had the honor of seeing her talk live but never got to meet her. Her words live in my heart and in my soul. Today I feel like I lost a member of my own family.
Thank you Dr. Angelou for your inspiration, your wisdom, your joy, your pain and your gifts.
You will be sorely missed.

Take heart, my friends. The bird is no longer caged, and she will fly within our hearts, singing forever.
God Bless You, Maya Angelou.
Your Pal,

Due to limited seating capacity, the family has decided to have a closed service for family and friends only. Wake Forest University will livestream the service for the public.
