Dear Sister Maya Angelou

Celebrating Dr. Maya Angelou and San Francisco Public Library’s One City One Book, the sixth-floor exhibit shows Angelou’s longtime congregation membership with Tenderloin’s GLIDE Memorial Church. Dear Sister Maya Angelou draws from the San Francisco History Center’s recent archival acquisition, GLIDE Historical Records, to focus on Angelou’s involvement with GLIDE and her dedicated friendships with Reverend Cecil Williams and poet Janice Mirikitani. Materials on view include photographs, brochures, correspondence and newspaper clippings. In addition, the exhibit highlights Angelou’s enduring legacy and the impact she had on the church and city she loved.
