Maya Angelou, Still I Rise

Maya Angelou’s (1928–2014) anthem of resilience is rooted in the American civil rights movement of which she was a vital part. With its specific references to ‘the huts of history’s shame’, ‘a black ocean’ and ‘the hope of the slave’, ‘Still I Rise’ brings to life a Black woman’s inspiring refusal to sink under the weight of racism. At the same time, the poem speaks to all humankind—to the capacity of every individual not just to rise up from whatever pain, sorrow, grief and heartache they have endured but to dance like they’ve got diamonds at the meeting of their thighs.
