“Black History Minute,” a Poem by Harryette Mullen

You could say the Atlantic triangle trade

was a win-win-win deal. Intrepid traders profited

by transporting essential goods. Enterprising

settlers developed savage land, creating wealth

and opportunity. Recruited Africans practiced

marketable skills and built up

solid résumés, working as unpaid interns.

Black History Minute provides students and educators with all you ever need to know about American slavery.
