- Summary:
- For his humanistic religious verse, his poignant and deeply personal antislavery poems, and, above all, his lifelong enthusiasms for liberty, nature, and the art of poetry, George Moses Horton merits a place of distinction among nineteenth-century African American poets. Enslaved for sixty-eight years, the self-taught Horton was the first American slave to protest his bondage in published verse and the first black man to published a book in the South.
