The Negro Spirituals predate the USA, as do the Work Songs. Imagine what has been lost is how the NEgro Spirituals plus work songs changed from the early 1500s to circa 1865, when the war between the states ended. I don't even know how that knowledge can be obtained as written records for black art were not allowed by the white enslavers.....

First work published in the usa by a black person in 1865 , circa after the thirteenth amendment, by the only person to publish poetry while enslaved in the history of the U.S.A. is attributed to George M Horton.
He published three works while planned four in total, to my knowledge through Wikipedia.
The Hope of Liberty (1829)
This was Horton's first true attempt to buy his freedom. Most of the poems in the collection were themed around antislavery either indirect or directly

The Screwing of the Average Man (1974) by David Hapgood from @umbrarchist
?
I was unable to find the stageplay book. I imagine someone has it somewhere. But if I ever get it I will share it in this work. This isn't the first african american stageplay, my book of old stageplays have many that are older and that were popular. But Shuffle Along did have a sensation especially among whites that is underrated.
Well, enjoy the images.

The lesson in Percy Julian's story isn't that in the usa whites stop blacks from all things but in the usa whites defer blacks from their true goals. Yes, PErcy Julian became a chemist but by his own words this was a life as a chemist he didn't envision. It was a poisoned deal between getting something remotely similar to what you want because of white power while still holding on and embracing the usa
NARRATOR: Looking back in the autobiography he would never finish, Julian offered his own

Afrofuturism in my view can be renamed Negro Science Fantasy Fiction but the definition to either word or term is the same, in my view, works from black , phenotypical range, authors throughout humanity regardless of geographic ancestry that involve elements of science fiction or fantasy, with usually, not always, a majority of black characters.
