Explore "On being Brought from Africa to America" by Phillis Wheatley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, / Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too: / Once I redemption neither sought nor knew.
Some view our sable race with scornful eye, / "Their colour is a diabolic die."
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain, / May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.
