Talk:Phillis Wheatley

Draft

• Here among the rarities of early Negro Americana was...Phyllis Wheatley's Mss. poem of 1767 addressed to the students of Harvard, her spirited encomiums upon George Washington and the Revolutionary Cause...Such things and many others are more than mere items of curiosity: they educate any receptive mind.
  • Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, "The Negro Digs Up His Past", in The New Negro (1925) -- is this a typo? "MSS." means "manuscripts" (plural)
