Oldest Known African American Poem Bars Fight Poster
This poster has a poem (the oldest known work of literature by an African American) by Lucy Terry Prince (c. 1730 - 1821) titled Bars Fight. It's about an incident that occurred on August 25, 1746 in the meadows south of the town of Deerfield, Massachusetts (called the Bars). On this day, a party of Indians attacked a group of people gathering hay. Some of the men and a boy were killed, one girl was severely wounded in the head and left for dead, and one boy was taken captive to Canada. Lucy Terry was born in Africa, abducted and sold into slavery in Rhode Island as an infant, and later married a successful free black man named Abijah Prince in 1756. The two settled in Vermont in 1764 where all six of their children were born. This is her only surviving poem.

I like the design features on the website. They enable the fitting of a good quality Print to an existing frame.
This Print was of excellent quality. I would buy again.
One small gripe is that the image was not centred horizontally (about 3mm out) so needed trimming. No great hardship and may have been my fault in the setting-up.
Next time, I would choose to set the text below the picture to a smaller font.
Overall - Thank You! Looks good in its frame - Just as expected. I had a very expensive Gallery print of this before. It got damaged - hence the replacement. It compares very well.
