That baby was me . My mom called me Miriam. Miriam Makeba .  \nMom was a sangoma, but she also worked to make other people’s homes neat and clean . It was hard for my mom to earn enough for both of us . She started selling homemade beer to bring in more money.  \nThe laws of the land said that selling homemade beer was wrong. The police sent my mom to jail for six long months. I was only 18 days old, and needed my mom . So eventhough I wasjust a baby, I went to jail too.  \nAs a little girl I loved to sing. When I was older, I helped my mom clean houses. Singing songs as I worked made the chores go faster and the days seem brighter. Singing made me happier than I can explain .  \nI sang in my church, and this made others happy too . Music has the power to bring people together . When we were singing we felt brave and strong.  \nPeople said my voice was a gift and my songs were special. I sang with other musicians and our music was heard all over the world.","cbCaif4JjNLHY5fC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif4JjNLHY5fC","pdf",13364929,18,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n# Early Life\n# The Power of Music\n# Global Recognition","[{\"question\":\"Who is Miriam Makeba?\",\"answer\":\"Miriam Makeba was a South African singer and anti-apartheid activist whose music and activism brought her international acclaim.\"},{\"question\":\"What was Miriam Makeba's childhood like?\",\"answer\":\"Miriam's childhood in Johannesburg was challenging, marked by her mother's struggles for financial stability and even a period spent in jail due to laws against selling homemade beer.\"},{\"question\":\"How did music influence Miriam Makeba's life?\",\"answer\":\"As a child, singing made chores easier and days brighter for Miriam.
