How is Maya Angelou a hero?

Answer 1

I'm asking the same question?

Everyone claims she is their hero and I want to know what makes her a HERO?

To me a HERO is someone who puts their life on the line for others, or at the very least does something heroic for the sake of others. I suppose one could say she is a hero because she overcame some huge obstacles in her life and in-turn has made others lives better through her writings and teachings. I think there are different degrees assigned to heroes. ie. "Hero", "Super Hero", "Mega Hero", "Ultimate Hero", "Extreme Hero". With that being said I suppose she is a "Hero"
