Learning to Read by Frances Ellen Watkins Harper is a #classicliterature poem that discusses the difficulties of gaining that knowledge by slaves, and the lengths they went to try to learn to read. Though a fictionalized account involving a freed 60 year old called Aunt Chloe, the poem still rings true.

This poem is particularly good as a background for American history, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper frequently used her work to affirm the causes she backed -- abolition, sufferage, and temperance among them.
