Join us to discuss Author, Poet and Civil Rights Activist Maya Angelou’s third autobiography, Singin’ and Swingin’ and Gettin’ Merry Like Christmas. Angelou writes about moving into the adult world, and the white world as well, as she marries, enters show business, and tours Europe and Africa in Porgy and Bess. Angelou’s fascinating life, full of camaraderie, love affairs and memorable personalities as she enters her 20s, includes working in a record shop, and dancing in a bar as well as in one of the most popular nightclubs on the West Coast.
