Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou was born Marguerite Annie
Johnson in St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents
divorced when she was only three and she was
sent with her brother Bailey to live with their
grandmother in the small town of Stamps,
Arkansas. In Stamps, the young girl experienced
the racial discrimination that was the legally
enforced way of life in the American South, but
she also absorbed the deep religious faith and old-
fashioned courtesy of traditional African American
life. She credits her grandmother and her extended family with instilling in
her the values that informed her later life and career. She enjoyed a close
relationship with her brother. Unable to pronounce her name because of a
stutter, Bailey called her "My" for "My sister." A few years later, when he
read a book about the Maya Indians, he began to call her "Maya," and the
name stuck.
At age seven, while visiting her mother in Chicago, she was sexually
molested by her mother's boyfriend. Too ashamed to tell any of the adults
in her life, she confided in her brother. When she later heard the news that
an uncle had killed her attacker, she felt that her words had killed the man.
She fell silent and did not speak for five years.
Maya began to speak again at 13, when she and her brother rejoined their
mother in San Francisco. Maya attended Mission High School and won a
scholarship to study dance and drama at San Francisco's Labor School,
where she was exposed to the progressive ideals that animated her later
political activism. She dropped out of school in her teens to become San
Francisco's first African American female cable car conductor. She later
returned to high school, but became pregnant in her senior year and
graduated a few weeks before giving birth to her son, Guy. She left home at
16 and took on the difficult life of a single mother, supporting herself and
her son by working as a waitress and cook, but she had not given up on
her talents for music, dance, performance and poetry.
In 1952, she married a Greek sailor named
Anastasios Angelopulos. When she began
her career as a nightclub singer, she took the
professional name Maya Angelou, combining
her childhood nickname with a form of her
husband's name. Although the marriage did
not last, her performing career flourished. She
toured Europe with a production of the opera
Porgy and Bess in 1954 and 1955. She
studied modern dance with Martha Graham,
danced with Alvin Ailey on television variety
shows and recorded her first record album,
Calypso Lady (1957).
She had composed song lyrics and poems for many years, and by the end
of the 1950s was increasingly interested in developing her skills as a writer.
She moved to New York, where she joined the Harlem Writers Guild and
took her place among the growing number of young black writers and
artists associated with the Civil Rights Movement. She acted in the historic
Off-Broadwa.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
