From A to Z along a Black Cavalry




The Alphabet of Slavery is – a poem published in The Poetry of Slavery (1764-1865) Harvest Films/The British Empire and Commonwealth Museum –, is an excellent reminder of the endless list of grievances that remains alive in the black communities historical memory. Perhaps it would be useful to have a look at it in order to better understand the issues at stake in novels like Oroonoko and in films like Amistad.
