Poet Rockiey Holman cre ated the poster through his non-profit organization. In Public Service. He has led two other WSTA poetry poster campaigns since 2002. Holman says his efforts are designed to expose more people to the beauty of poetry. "It's something pleasant for the commuter," said Holman. "It's relaxing, inspiring, uplifting for the commuter, and that's some thing I wanted to share with my fellow Winston-Salem citizens." The poster offers a time line of African-American poetry and poets. It high lights a 1929 collection by George Moses Horton, who was dubbed "the colored bard of North Carolina." The book was the first published in the South by a black man. Horton's accomplishment are juxtaposed with the text of a 1831 North Carolina law forbidding slaves like Horton from being taught 'to read and write. Poet, novelist and abolitionist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Maya Angelou and even one of Holman's own collections, "The Universal Solvent," are , also featured. "We thank poetry for its | role in our lives and history as healer, provocateur and in ' house spirit-guide," the poster reads.
