Born into slavery in 1837, Fanny Jackson Coppin would graduate from Oberlin College in 1865, the third black woman to do so, and would serve as an African American Advocate and Educator. This serves as an analysis of both the poetry Coppin wrote during the Civil War and of Coppin's legacy in the movement for the rights of African Americans.
