Manage episode 436741278 series 3277184
"Still I Rise" is a powerful poem by American civil rights activist and writer Maya Angelou. Considered one of her most celebrated works, it was published in her third poetry collection, *And Still I Rise*, in 1978. The poem stands as a bold declaration of dignity and resilience, particularly for those marginalized and oppressed. While Angelou's work often centers on themes of blackness and black womanhood, "Still I Rise" can be seen as a direct critique of anti-black racism, embodying the strength and defiance of those who refuse to be held down by injustice.
