The first Black-Indigenous woman to publish a book of essays and poems was from Hartford, Connecticut! Her name was Ann Plato.
At sixteen years old, she would publish: Essays including biographies and miscellaneous pieces, in prose and poetry: a machine-readable transcription.
Ann Plato was an educator, writer, congregant, and connected with Hartford’s abolitionist movement.
Join us the Stowe Center for Literary Activism for a panel conversation with experts on one of Hartford’s most important historical figures!
