Celebrating Maya Angelou's 96th Birthday!
Celebrate! Maya Project
10–Year Anniversary
2024 marks 10 years since the death of Dr. Maya Angelou, and 10 years since a small group of Arkansas women came together to create a “Day of Remembrance,” in honor of Dr. Angelou’s life, and in Stamps, Arkansas—her childhood home. This year, Celebrate! Maya Project is celebrating its 10-year anniversary as well as its annual celebration of Dr. Angelou’s birthday in April.
