Award-winning writer Maya Angelou has won a total of 3 grammy awards. She has also written 6 different autobiographies. Her first biography entitled, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," chronicled the first 16 years of her life. Dr. Maya Angelou befriended both Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Tragically, both activists were assassinated before she could fully collaborate with them on planned projects. When Dr. King was murdered on Dr. Angelou's birthday (April 4th), she reportedly was so saddened that she ceased to celebrate the day of her birth for several years.
