The article presents information on Lucy Terry Prince a poet, storyteller, and activist. She is best known for her ballad "Bars Fight," which describes the 1746 battle between American Indians and white settlers in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Born in Africa in the early 1730s, Terry was stolen from her homeland and brought to Bristol, Rhode Island, at age five. Throughout the Colonial period, Prince used her voice to fight for social equality. When white neighbors attempted to claim the Princes' land as their own, the Princes took their neighbors to court. |
