Rock & Roll Hall of Fame: Understanding Poetry of Maya Angelou Through Rap Lyric

Curated by ACT

By examining the lives and lyrics of popular, positive black female rappers such as Queen Latifah and Lauryn Hill, students can trace a direct line back to the inspirational writer and poet, Maya Angelou. Rap lyrics will help explicate poetry, and vice versa, in a way that students can emulate with lyrics and poetry of their choice. Segments on dance and graffiti art will further enhance students' understanding of the creative expression.
