12022-12-13T19:04:02+00:00Poem about Nurses in Spanish-American War6plain2022-12-13T19:10:41+00:00Down in history we find it and in grandest works of art, How the men on fields of battle play so well the soldier’s part, But I come to tell the story of relief from care and pain Rendered them by Negro women in the Cuban War with Spain...
Mrs. Curtis and her nurses have been valiant in the strife, May such heroines be favored with a long and happy life; In the face of such achievements on the nation’s battle field, Prejudice is made to tremble, partly too, his lips are sealed.
— Lizelia Augusta Jenkins Moorer, “Negro Heroines” 1
