(1935–2018) was a U.S. Navy engineer born in Little Rock, Arkansas. When she was just seven years old, her grandfather took her to see a captured German submarine. She looked through the periscope and at all the dials and wanted to know how she could learn about how it worked. A man told her, "Oh, you'd have to be an engineer, but you don't have to worry about that." Raye was determined—she studied hard and was very good at math and science, but after she graduated high school she wasn't allowed to study engineering at the University of Arkansas because the program didn't admit black students. So she earned a business degree instead and went to Washington D.C. in 1956 to become a typist for the Navy. Raye took night classes in computer programming and engineering and learned about computers by watching the men who she worked with, even though she wasn't allowed to touch the computer. One day when the engineers were all out sick, however, she proved herself by running the machine by herself. Then in 1972, Raye was given the job of figuring out how to design a Naval ship using a computer. Her boss didn't tell her it was something the department had been trying (and failing) to accomplish for years. After a few months, Raye figured out how to do it. After that, the Navy asked her to design an actual ship on the computer. She was given a month to complete the project. Raye finished in 18 hours and 56 minutes. In honor of her breakthrough she was awarded the Navy's Meritorious Civilian Service Award in 1972, along with many other honors and achievements throughout her career. You can also read about Raye in the 2020 children's book, "The Girl with a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague."

She was given the nickname "Maya" by her brother Bailey, his name for "my sister." Her 1969 autobiography, "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings," is her most famous work and tells her story of growing up with her grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. Maya received over 50 honorary degrees and was awarded the National Medal of Arts in 2000 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2011. Maya read her poem "On the Pulse of Morning" at Bill Clinton's inauguration in 1993. She fought against hatred and racism and encouraged women and African Americans to overcome obstacles they faced. "We may encounter many defeats," she once said, "but we must not be defeated." In 2014, the town of Stamps renamed its only park after her. In 2015, the U.S. Postal Service released a stamp in honor of her. In January 2021, Mattel launched a Barbie in the likeness of Angelou as part of its "Inspiring Women" series. On January 10, 2022, Angelou became the first Black woman to appear on a U.S. quarter as part of the U.S. Mint's American Women Quarters program.
