Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Despite all the hardship of being a Black person in Colonial America, some Black people were able to defy the harsh conditions and create art. Today we're learning about a teenager who attained literacy and wrote poems that reached a large slice of the population and helped changed the ways that white Colonists thought about Black people

Library of America recently issued a volume of -African American Poetry- and many of the poets mentioned are also printed in their -American Poetry: The Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. - They have also issued -Slave Narratives- and -Antislavery Writings. -

I feel lucky to have known about Phillis Wheatley since I was young. Lucky because I didn't learn about her in school, I learned about her on a kids tv show called -Liberty's Kids- on PBS, which I only watched because we didn't have cable.

Oh man. I know her work! I studied her and Paul Lawrence Dunbar in high school. I had such a great teacher bc it wasn-t technically offered but he went out and got me the books anyways and taught me their work.

Hi Clint! Thank you so much for putting this series out. Almost all of the history in these videos was never taught to me in school, and I'm both happy and horrified to finally start learning the truth.

I-m mixed race and from the UK. I really appreciate the information you provide. I-ve always felt like there was a huge gap in my understanding of Black history. Thanks so much for the education.

Excellent presentation! I was taught about her at Biddleville Elementary School, an all Black School in Charlotte, NC.
Our teachers were also very knowledgeable.

Great. But I wish it came out a day later on Juneteenth. But still glad to get a video. Heard about your book Clint definitely gonna check it out.

I'm learning so much from this series! I'm a Trinidadian living in Trinidad, and this is helping to broaden my perspective of the black experience.

Once again, an excellent episode. I really do feel like many of these things should be part of general learning in schools.
