Answer:
“If growing up is painful for the Southern Black girl, being aware of her displacement is the rust on the razor that threatens the throat.
"The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met with amazement, distaste and even belligerence."
Step-by-step explanation:
"I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" was written by Maya Angelou, where she tells about her life and all the experiences she went through as a black girl growing up in a highly racist and intolerant environment. As she grew up and understood more about who she was and the society she lived in, Maya had a stronger idea of what it was like to be a black woman and why it bothered society so intensely. This understanding made Maya understand that resisting the oppression she suffered was essential for her to live and that registration would be even stronger when she recognized herself as black and embraced this fact in her life. This moment can be seen with the two quotes presented above.
