I know why the cage bir sings
In chapter 34 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Maya Angelou decides that she wants to become a streetcar "conductorette," a position never previously held by a person of color. The year is 1944. The famous Rosa Parks incident on a Montgomery bus took place eleven years later.
Imagine that Maya writes to The San Francisco Chronicle protesting about the racial discrimination she encounters. Write her letter in a Word document.
You may refer to other instances of discrimination that Maya would have been conscious of at that time. You may have to do a little research for this part of the letter. Also, explain her personal, emotional reaction to the discrimination, and include a request for specific action on the part of the city.
