Albery Allson Whitman (1851-1901) was an African American poet, minister and orator. Born into slavery, Whitman created a successful career for himself as a writer, and during his lifetime was acclaimed as the "Poet Laureate of the Negro Race". Throughout his lifetime he worked as a manual laborer, school teacher, financial agent, fundraiser and pastor. He died in 1901 of pneumonia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Albery Allson Whitman )〕 ==Early life and education== Whitman was born into slavery at a farm near Munfordville, Kentucky. After years as a manual laborer, working at a plowshop, on railroad construction and as a teacher, Whitman attended Wilberforce University in 1870. There he studied with Bishop Daniel Payne. Whitman stated that he wrote his 1877 poem ''Not a Man and Yet a Man'' so that "he might speak more effectively for Wilberforce."〔Benjamin Griffith Brawley, ''The Negro Genius: A New Appraisal of the Achievement of the American Negro'', Biblo & Tannen Publishers, 1966, p. 112〕
