Writer, poet, composer, performer, professor and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou inspired millions with her words and conviction. Her extraordinary life and career took her all over the world. When she died at 86 years old, she had broken many barriers throughout her lifetime, from being the first Black female streetcar conductor in San Francisco to a full-time African-American professor at Wake Forest University despite not having a degree.
Angelou used her talents and gifts to communicate the struggles she faced as an African-American woman, as well as the triumphs she achieved through her tenacity and fierce spirit.

Martin Luther King, Jr., considered the most influential leader of the modern civil rights movement, continues to inspire generations even decades after his death. His staunch message of nonviolence and civil disobedience motivated thousands of protests and boycotts, leading up to his 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech.
Reverend King went on to win a Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for combatting racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. He was planning a national occupation of Washington D.C. to be called the Poor People’s Campaign when he was tragically assassinated in 1968.
Today, we recognize Dr. King and his countless contributions every January on the national holiday established for him in 1986.
