About the Project

Paul Laurence Dunbar was a renowned poet, author, and playwright. “When Malindy Sings” is a collection of Dunbar’s poems first published in 1896. The title poem, inspired by Dunbar’s mother’s love of hymns and spirituals, became one of his most famous works. In addition to Dunbar’s poetry, this second edition of the book, published in 1903, also features photographs from the Hampton Institute Camera Club. Help us transcribe Dunbar’s book of poetry that draws influence from his family’s path from slavery to freedom.
