I'm well aware of the 16th St Baptist Church bombing but I have not been able to find any specific event of slaves being hidden (murdered) from the British in Charleston. I find it odd if the poet picked an apocryphal event to make his otherwise excellent point about American history. Anyone know if this actually happened? And/or anyone have insight into the poem that would explain Harper's choice?
