From wikipedia:
Lucy Terry (c.1730-1821) is the author of the oldest known work of literature by an African American.
Terry was kidnapped from Africa and sold into slavery as an infant. She was owned by Ebenezer Wells of Deerfield, who allowed her to be baptized into the Christian faith at about five years of age during the Great Awakening.
Read Lucy Terry Prince's poem, "Bars Fight," free from the Alamo Community Colleges website.
