Today's woman was known by many names: Mama Africa, the Empress of African Song, and Zenzi (her African name that was a gift from her mother). The world would come to know her as Miriam Makeba... and they would LOVE her talent and positive spirit. At least, until, she started using her voice to directly criticize the apartheid government of her home. Miriam was loud and proud and when people rejected her, she picked herself up and started again somewhere else.
