"on being brought from africa to america"(1773)
phillis wheatley
‘twas mercy brought me from my pagan land,
taught my benighted soul to understand
that there's a god, that there's a savior too:
once i redemption neither sought nor knew.
some view our sable race with scornful eye.
"their color is a diabolic dye."
remember, christians, negroes, black as cain,
may be refined, and join the angelic train.
