The Wings of Oppression by Leslie Pinckney Hill, published in 1921, is a powerful collection of 69 poems that delve into themes of racial identity, struggle, resilience, and hope. Hill, an African American educator, poet, and advocate, uses this collection to reflect on the social and political challenges faced by Black Americans, intertwining personal reflection with a broader call for unity and spiritual strength. His poems, including notable pieces like "Armageddon" and "Cora," emphasize the indomitable spirit and courage of Black Americans while advocating for universal brotherhood and social justice. Through lyrical and contemplative verse, Hill captures both the pain of oppression and the profound hope for a future free from racial barriers, aligning his work with the ethos of the New Negro movement of the early 20th century.
