?Maya Angelou wasn't just a poet. She was a force for change. She helped Malcolm X establish the Organization of Afro-American Unity. She served as the coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. And she inspired generations of women in literature—and beyond. Her legacy is a reminder: Your words can shape the world. Which of her works has impacted you the most????????????????? Source: Britannica #womenempowerment #iwlmarquette
