Dr. Maya Angelou, celebrated author, educator and civil-rights activist, has died at the age of 86.
According to Winston-Salem, N.C., Mayor Allen Joines, Angelou was found this morning by a caretaker in her North Carolina home following a week of battling recent health complications. In the last month, Angelou canceled what would have been her final appearances due to “health reasons.”
