Celebrated today as the first published Black American poet, Jupiter Hammon lived almost his entire life enslaved by the Lloyd family on Long Island. Born in 1711, Hammon witnessed the growth of the American colonies, the Revolutionary War, and the founding of the United States. His essays and poems offer powerful insights into the moral conflicts between liberty and slavery and raise questions about resistance, authorship, and the path towards justice.Free for BVHS members, $5 for non-members
