About “Gather together in my name”

Gather Together in My Name is a 1974 memoir by Maya Angelou, the second book in her series of seven autobiographies. It follows the author, known as Rita, from age 17 to 19, beginning shortly after the events of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. The title comes from a biblical reference but also reflects the experience of a Black woman navigating a white-dominated society in post-World War II America. The book details Angelou's struggles and growth during this period of her life. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
