Podcasts about I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th and final study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up To Heaven. This is the 6th autobiography in her 7 book memoir series. We read books 1, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and 4, The Heart of a Woman. Dr. Angelou now reigns as the only author to have three books read on the Katherine Massey Book Club. We're reading this book to hear Dr. Angelou's depiction of the assassinations of Minister Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Last week, Dr. Angelou details returning to New York to hobnob with James Baldwin and her black artist and entertainer friends. Of course, they consume copious amounts of alcohol at all times. "The African" (Vus) returns to her life, even after they agreed to end their alleged marriage. She shares many of her mother Vivian Baxter's aphorisms and life sayings. Most of them are about as raggedy as the morning after a Mad Dog 20/20 hangover. Dr. Angelou then describes her tremendous disdain for Eldridge Cleaver and his controversial text, Soul On Ice. Baldwin seems to conclude that her primary problem with Cleaver's book is his alleged personal attack on Baldwin. He pleads with Dr. Angelou to look beyond her personal animosity to grasp the historic value of Cleaver's insight into the homosexual activity that Race Soldiers encourage in US prisons. At one point, Angelou says she would rather "hang" Cleaver, the privileged black male. #SNL50 #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 3rd study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up To Heaven. This is the 6th autobiography in her 7 book memoir series. We read books 1, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and 4, The Heart of a Woman. Dr. Angelou now reigns as the only author to have three books read on the Katherine Massey Book Club. We're reading this book to hear Dr. Angelou's depiction of the assassinations of Minister Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Last week, Dr. Angelou detailed the smells and sounds from her sightseeing tours through the 1965 Watts riots. Oddly, she laments the lack of attention she receives while everyone is focused on the smoldering ruins and shootin' and lootin'. With a reputation as a poet, not a historian, Dr. Angelou is scant on specific details about what's happening during the infamous SoCal battle. The late Wanda Coleman wrote that a few of Dr. Angelou's descriptions of the Watts kerfuffle are factually incorrect. Later, the Wake Forest scholar tells us that she and her "former husband" Vus, who is not named in this book, attempt to reconcile. It fails miserably, and they resume the same toxic, destructive arguments they had on a different continent. We noted that the daily consumption of alcoholic beverages is a theme in both Dr. Angelou memoirs we read this year. Including the infamous Mogen David's "Mad Dog 20/20" - which is a fortified wine that's been banned in parts of Seattle, Washington. #SobrietytWouldBeBest #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 2nd study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's A Song Flung Up To Heaven. This is the 6th autobiography in her 7 book memoir series. We read books 1, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and 4, The Heart of a Woman. Dr. Angelou now reigns as the only author to have three books read on the Katherine Massey Book Club. We're reading this book to hear Dr. Angelou's depiction of the assassinations of Minister Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Last week, we heard Dr. Angelou scrutinize the grammar of black Fillmore District residents following the murder of Malcolm X. Black people didn't riot and barely broke stride from our usual niggerized routines of drinking booze and name-calling black people. Feeling low, she jetted off to Hawaii with her sorrows. Importantly, Dr. Angelou mentions the lasting importance of the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott, which vaulted Dr. King to prominence and made Rosa Parks a household name. Pathetically, she lists the date the boycott as 1958 - which is 2 years after its conclusion. This sort of sloppiness is becoming a trend in Dr. Angelou's non-fiction and more broadly when many White and non-white people speak to an audience of black people and/or discuss events involving black people with a flagrant disregard for accuracy. #SNL50 #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat#TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

We read books 1, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and 4, The Heart of a Woman. Dr. Angelou now reigns as the only author to have three books read on the Katherine Massey Book Club. We're reading this book to hear Dr. Angelou's depiction of the assassination of Minister Malcolm X. She was in San Francisco at the time of the murder. Importantly, this text, like The Heart of a Woman, features an egregious error that should have been corrected by editors or a mindful author. Dr. Angelou writes that the "1955" Montgomery bus boycott inspired those on the continent of Africa. Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King's famed counter-racist insurrgency against Alabama's Racist public transportation began in 1955 and lasted for a year. Parks alleged told the public her act of defiance was inspired by Emmett L. Till's lynching in August of 1955. Dr. Angelou should value this history enough to get these dates correct for posterity. #SNL50 #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 7th study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just 2 of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou describes her involvement in the White French convict Jean Genet's play, The Blacks: A Clown Show. This celebrated show featured a cast of renown black thespians and was shown around the world. Dr. Angelou describes how mostly White audiences devoured the play, but continued their dedication to White Supremacy - even to the negro cast as soon as they stepped off the stage. The Suspected Racist director, Sidney Bernstein, shafted Max Roach and Dr. Angelou for their musical labor on the play. This is typical White Racism and the time-honored White tradition of robbing black artists. Bernstein was not ignorant about Racism. After speculating that her husband Vus might be cheating on her, our heroine contemplates poisoning her African care-mate. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week, the late poet an Victim of White Supremacy told us about how she, Abbey Lincoln and other black females of the Cultural Association for Women of African Heritage helped to coordinate a rally on the New York United Nations building. This was in response to the assassination of Patrice Lumumba. Dr. Angelou grabbed a random black "thug" to help escort her into the building. NPR's Terry Gross, a Racist Suspect, interviewed Dr. Angelou in 1981 and confessed that she feared this privileged black "thug" was going to assault and "rape" our heroine in the UN stairwell. Thankfully, everyone kept their pants zipped. In fact, after everything was finished, Dr. Angelou admitted feeling pretty lousy about risking the black fellas' life for her poorly conceived effort. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou detailed her Harlem hobnobbing of the early 1960's and her activist work on behalf of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She was momentarily engaged to a black bale bondsman named Thomas. But she met a chubby African named Make and kicked worthless Thomas to the curb. She agreed to marry Make (at least her 3rd fiancé), and introduced him to her 15-year-old son Guy as her new care mate. Guy continues to insist that he's a "man." Dr. Angelou meets numerous Africans and shares with them the history of White Supremacy in the US, highlighting the counter-racist labor of Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth. #ImGoinGetMeSomeStuffTonight #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 4th study session on the late Dr. Maya Angelou's The Heart of A Woman. This is a rare "double dip" for the book club, as we read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings in the summer of 2014 just after the transition of the famed author and Wake Forest scholar. Ironically, when The C.O.W.S. last read Dr. Angelou, she was frolicking as a young lady in San Francisco. Gus T. was inundated with the life and literary work of Dr. Angelou during his recent Golden State sojourn. And it took Gus seeing the documentary film Soundtrack to a Coup d'État three times to accurately write down the title Heart of a Woman. The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. Last week, Dr. Angelou described meeting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in New York. Before departing Dr. King told Dr. Angelou that there are some "good White people." Dr. Angelou wondered if he said this because a White Man was listening. She later echoes Dr. King's conclusion, citing the Russians and Fidel Castro, who allegedly never self-identified as a White Man. While Dr. Angelou is globetrotting and drinking with White Men, her son is threatened by a gang of "worthless" black males. Her son Guy seems to insist with every other sentence that he: "Is a man." Dr. Angelou writes over and over about the impotence, unnecessariness, and failure of black manhood. Like her brother, who was in greater confinement during the early 1960s. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Last week, Dr. Angelou described hearing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Fred Shuttlesworth and Wyatt Tee Walker of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference speaking in New York about their counter-racist work in the south. Dr. Angelou was so touched by their words she began thinking of how she could act to support their efforts. She's strikingly candid about the widespread tendency of she and most other black people to be "uncle toms" and the necessity of telling her black son about "the power of White power." En route to offering her services to Bayard Rustin and the SCLC, Dr. Angelou encounters a phalanx of White Men who volunteer their White time and expertise to aid the niggra, and, probably, spy for COINTELPRO. #AppleEvent #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The extraordinary film on the assassination of Patrice Lumumba is "receipt-heavy," and Andrée Blouin and Dr. Angelou's respective memoirs are just two of the many books in the project. Last week, we heard Dr. Angelou use a myriad of confusing metaphors to describe the System of White Supremacy in 1957. She minimized the abuse tennis champion Althea Gibson experienced and elided US Senator J. Strom Thurmond raping a black child in South Carolina while filibustering against niggras. The young Dr. Angelou fried chicken for and entertained Billie "Lady Day" Holiday and sat while the jazz legend sang "Strange Fruit" to her 9-year-old son, Guy. It was a traumatizing event for the little guy. Then the Race Soldier White teachers went to work on him. #SoundtrackToACoupdÉtat #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

On this day in 1928, Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In just 86 years Maya Angelou lived dozens of lives. Perhaps best known for her seminal autobiography I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou is one of the most celebrated literary minds in history, whose poetry and prose has touched generations of readers. But before Caged Bird, Angelou danced and sang on and off Broadway, earned the moniker “Miss Calypso” in the 1950s, called dozens of American cities and African nations home, and even became the first Black woman to work as a cable car conductor in San Francisco. On this episode of Making, host Brandon Pope sits down with Rita Coburn, co-director of the Peabody-Award-winning PBS documentary Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise; Randal Jelks, professor of African and African American studies and American studies at the University of Kansas; and Dr. Maxine Mimms, the founder of the Tacoma Campus of Evergreen State College and a longtime friend of Angelou. “Her main word was courage,” Dr. Mimms said, “The courage to love, the courage to walk, the courage to move.” Making tells the story of a different, iconic figure every episode.

Last Friday, Citizen co-founder Larry Platt was inspired to write an article, in part, due to the banning of "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" by an Iowa school district. On this episode of #velshibannedbookclub, MSNBC host and Citizen board member Ali Velshi speaks with Imani Perry, author and professor of African American Studies at Harvard. They discuss the legacy of Maya Angelou's seminal novel and dig into some of its most impactful scenes. It's little wonder that in certain areas of the country, this book ends up on banned lists.

Lane Heymont and I have a far-ranging discussion about books, movies, publishing, the evil of the Sackler family, the nature of forgiveness, his path from being a literary assistant to founding The Tobias Literary Agency, why it's crucial for him to be passionate about the projects he represents, why writers should always be writing, moral clauses in book contracts, the consolidation of major publishers, being a mensch, and so much more. Lane's love affair with literature began at the age of eight when his grandfather offered him $5 to read and discuss the classics of literature. He began his publishing career in 2012 at The Seymour Agency and in 2016 formed The Tobias Literary Agency. With his eclectic taste and particular passion for horror, Lane is the top literary agent in the genre. Some of Lane's favorite reads include: FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley, THE HUNGER by Alma Katsu, SKELETONS AT THE FEAST by Chris Bohjalian, KNIGHT OF THE BLACK ROSE by James Lowder, the DRAGONLANCE CHRONICLES by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, IN COLD BLOOD BY Truman Capote, I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS by Maya Angelou, and THE DINOSAUR ARTIST by Paige Williams. His favorite writers include Sheridan Le Fanu, Mary Shelley, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, Alma Katsu, Chris Bohjalian, and Lovecraft despite his politics and gross bigotry. Lane represents a broad range of commercial fiction and serious nonfiction. In fiction, he is open to projects broadly defined as speculative fiction. He is most interested in horror defined however one defines it. This includes select young adult projects. He prefers contemporary settings and is always looking for own voices projects by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other underrepresented cultures/identities in both fiction and nonfiction. In nonfiction, Lane acquires celebrity projects, science, cultural studies, history, and pop-culture.

On Episode 144 we celebrate our anniversary! Join us as we take a walk down memory lane reflecting on the last five years together as the Book Cougars. We chat about memorable biblio adventures and group readalongs, highlight some of our top reads of the past five years, and take the opportunity to thank people that are part of the Book Cougar's family. Special guests on this episode include Laura Thoma and Aunt Ellen! As a group, we discuss initial reactions when we picked the name “Book Cougars” for the podcast. Both Chris and Emily are reading I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS by Maya Angelou. This book is our next readalong and we would love for you to join the conversation. Check the website details. Emily did some biblio-adventuring in Michigan. A highlight was a stop in Glen Arbor where she stepped into the delightful Cottage Book Shop located in a log cabin. Chris had the opportunity to explore historic navigation books at the Coast Guard Academy Library Special Collections - she touched a book from 1680!

This is the exact English lesson I made for my native English students this week. The book, I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS, by Maya Angelou is an American classic. We've been studying it in class. I made this lesson to help my students understand the very difficult novel. I hope it helps you with your English listening comprehension.

Hello! So I've chosen 5 books that I love and would suggest for reading (although my shelf has so many books that even if I attempt to buy one more, my mother's gonna throw me out one day), so this episode talks about me describing 5 of my favourite books - "Remnants of a Separation" by Aanchal Malhotra, "Normal People" by Sally Rooney, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou, "Unaccustomed Earth" by Jhumpa Lahiri and "City Adrift" by Naresh Fernandes. Also I share about various other authors and their books and try to give some interesting insights over the books.

He also studied with Susan Batson, who is known for coaching actors such as Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Connely.  Hisham says " As an Actor, just like a human being, evolution and education is infinite." Hisham also starred in a groundbreaking One Hour Drama "Gun Hill". As Capt. Sanford. Gun Hill stars Larenz Tate, Tawny Cypress, and Aisha Hinds.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: EP:27 DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO HEAL?   I'm reminded of Maya Angelou's book, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, because of the 38 years that I suffered in silence,  feeling like a caged bird longing for freedom.   After speaking my truth, overcoming my trauma so that I can thrive in life, I've met some incredibly brave women who also shared their courage to heal stories on this podcast..   In this episode, my question to you is, “Do YOU have the courage to heal” so that you  too can overcome past/present trauma?    SHOWNOTES: The freedom we've experienced came from total surrender through forgiveness, faith and health (condition of a sound mind, body, and spirit). You're a high achieving, always about your business at hand for the family, career, business..only to feel trapped within your own trauma, like a caged bird.

Maya Angelou. The writer, the activist, the icon. We start with her book I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and she makes it apparent why white supremacy is idiotic and unwelcome. This autobiography shows us the world she saw until the age of 17. Fascinating, racist dentists, and more to learn in the south, aka Stamps, Arkansas.

Magician’s Gambit, Prologue Sondra’s cup wants filling. Her external focus needs to be brought inside to the still point where her real power is. Alysia is enjoying her wine for celebration and a bit of crap-what-a-day. She’s sworn off coaching—AGAIN! And she’s reaping the synchronistic rewards of that decision. They’re both doing what they can to reflect the light of love out into the world by entering into some serious self-care. The Younger Gods have spun the world out of nothingness without the help of the Spirit Ul. He spends a few years being beseeched beyond His resistance by Gorim, eventually winding up as God of Gorim’s people and the monsters who are beautiful beyond their own imperfections. Torak cracks the world and turns the Earth and her monsters mad. (Art reflecting life in 2020 from the past?) This episode is brought to you by You!

This week, we focus on the iconic American poet, Maya Angelou. We explore Angelou's journey from Harlem to Ghana and the encouragement from James Baldwin that inspired her to write I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. We conclude with Caged Bird, which exemplifies Angelou's commitment to the liberation of all people: The caged bird sings with a fearful trill/of things/unknown/but longed for still/and his tune is heard/ on the distant hill /for the caged bird/sings of freedom.Historical Research: The Poetry FoundationSupport the show (https://getlit.org/donate/)

 Welcome to Episode 204 of Real Talk with the Spiritual Bestie! I am calling this episode "Soul Food" because it was just that for me! I mean, I got my whole life sitting down Chattin' With the AunTeas! Lets catch up though, because it's been a while since we've talked.  I got engage to my fiancé in April and since then, this destination wedding planning has been at the forefront of just about everything! Sis was tired, Sis was confused. Sis needed a break. Sis was me, I was Sis but I was able to go to my hometown, Tampa and link up with some of my soul sisters, Malaika and Giovanni, better known as The AunTeas.  In this episode, we talked about everything from soul ties to some of our favorite books and authors that helped to shape us, our perspectives and cultural experience as black women/woman of color. I wanted to do a few name drops here so that you all can look into these resources on your own. Mailaka talked about a wheel in the earlier part of the show. This wheel is actually called the” Self-Care Wheel” and has been used since about 2014 in the healing profession. I encourage you all to check it out as it can assist with balancing out your life.   Giovanni mentions Iyanla Vanzant and a few of her works during the show. One of them was Peace From Broken Pieces.  The other books mentioned by "Auntie Iyanla" were Spirit of a Man and  One Day My Soul Just Opened Up.  Giovanni also talked about a film, Daughters of the Dusk which I also highly recommend, especially if but not only if you are interested in the practice of Hoodoo. It is a great film. You can find it on Netflix and  I mentioned another book: The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz.  We all agreed that I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison are important works but Maya's entire biographical series and any of Toni's works are worth having.  I am listing some  other authors mentioned during the episode. There were some real gems dropped during this episode!  Black Looks and Talking Back by Bell Hooks  and although it was not mentioned, All About Love is another great work by Hooks worth indulging in.  Alice Walker is another notable writer that has several works, honestly too many to name here that you should have exposure too and expose young readers to as well. We also mentioned  Zora Neal Hurston and Gloria Naylor who both left us with priceless cultural offerings.  Connect with me on Facebook and Instagram by simply typing in @Spiritualbestie. You can connect with both of my guests as well. Malaika can be found on Instagram as @purplehairandconverse and Giovonni's handle is @Theluxelibra Thank you so much for listening and until next time, PEACE!

Racist Suspect Dr. Karen Swallow Prior visits The Context of White Supremacy. Dr. Prior earned her Ph. D. and M. A. at the State University of New York at Buffalo and her B. A. at Daemen College. She's a professor of English at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and a member of Faith Advisory Council of the Humane Society of the United States. Gus reiterated his interest in hearing how White professors teach on Dr. Maya Angelou's iconic autobiographical novel, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. A listener alerted Gus of Dr. Prior's essay on this book - What Maya Angelou Means When She Says 'Shakespeare Must Be a Black Girl'. We originally agreed to do this program a week earlier, but the death of Michael Brown, Jr. and the events in Ferguson altered time. As it turns out, Dr. Prior has recommended people read Caged Bird to get a better grasp of what's happening in Missouri. We're interested to hear what she thinks this book can teach us about Racism (White Supremacy) and why it is so popular amongst Whites. #TheCOWS5Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
