Early Black Writers of the Age of Apprenticeship
|
|
|
The Age of Apprenticeship was one that produced a few black writers that were able to get their works published. It was an amazing feat to be black and to be able to have written works published during the late 1700s in America. Writers such as Olaudah Equiano, David Walker, George Moses Horton and Phillis Wheatley were all influential writers of this time period. These writers were able to prove that blacks were able to be educated and were able to display their intelligence in productive ways other than tilling soil and picking cotton. The writers all share similarities, which include being enslaved, their religion, and the fact that they were all able to read and write. In June Jordan’s article, “The Difficult Miracle of Black Poetry in America or Something Like a Sonnet for Phillis Wheatly”, we ascertain that Wheatly’s life reflected these aspects.
