UGA African American Studies Univ. of Georgia's Institute for African American Studies posts several brief biographical sketches of key figures in africanamerican history. http://www.uga.edu/~iaas/History.html
Extractions: African Americans have played a vital role in the history and culture of their country since its founding. An important part of the curriculum at the Institute for African American Studies is devoted to creative research on the lives and work of prominent African Americans and to placing them within their cultural context. On this page you will find brief biographical sketches of several key figures in African American history. Benjamin Banneker's Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Almanack and Epheremis, published during the years 1792-1797. He retired from tobacco farming to concentrate wholly upon his studies. He corresponded with Thomas Jefferson and urged Jefferson to work for the abolition of slavery. Sojourner Truth, a nationally known speaker on human rights for slaves and women, was born Isabella Baumfree, a slave in Hurley, New York, and spoke only Dutch during her childhood. Sold and resold, denied her choice in husband, and treated cruelly by her masters, Truth ran away in 1826, leaving all but one of her children behind. After her freedom was bought for $25, she moved to New York City in 1829 and became a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. In 1853, she helped form a utopian community called "The Kingdom," at Sing Sing, New York, which was soon disbanded following the death and possible murder of its leader. Truth was implicated in the scandal but courageously fought the falsehoods aimed at her. After the death of her son, she took the name Sojourner Truth to signify her new role as traveler telling the truth about slavery. She set out on June 1, 1843, walking for miles in a northeasterly direction with 25 cents in her pocket, and rested only when she found lodging offered by either rich or poor. First she attended religious meetings, then began to hold meetings herself that would bring audience members to tears. As she logged mile after mile, her fame grew and her reputation preceded her. Truth's popularity was enhanced by her biography written by the abolitionist Olive Gilbert, with a preface written by William Lloyd Garrison. In 1864, she was invited to the White House, where President Abraham Lincoln personally received her. Later she served as a counselor for the National Freedman's Relief Association, retiring in 1875 to Battle Creek, Michigan.

Poetry Reviews and Criticism (Finding articles which discuss a Poem) It is not always possible to find critical articles that discuss every poem by every poet, even in the case of major poets. In those instances where an individual poem may not be explicated (analyzed), it is often possible to find articles that discuss the poet's themes and style more generally, and this may be relevant to discussion of the poem in hand. MLA International Bibliography . New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1921-; electronically available, 1963-present. Indexes articles on poets and their poetry in scholarly journals, books, book chapters, conference proceedings and dissertations. MLA indexes articles on individual poems and, in cases where an individual poem may not be explicated, there may be general discussion of a poet and his/her themes, style, etc. MLA attempts to provide coverage of all literatures excepting Classical Greek and Roman. Search for poem titles in the original language (e.g., rimbaud and "bateau ivre").
