Why was Marguerite sent to work at Mrs.Cullinan's?

Answer 1

Marguerite, also known as Maya Angelou, was sent to work at Mrs. Cullinan's house because she and her brother had been sent to live with their paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas, after their parents' marriage ended. Mrs. Cullinan was a white woman who employed Marguerite as a domestic worker, which was a common situation for African Americans during that era. This experience exposed Marguerite to the complexities of racial dynamics and the challenges faced by black individuals in a segregated society.
