John Boyd was a free person of color in the 19th century, born on New Providence island in the Bahamas. He was self-taught with a beautiful hand writing. Governor James Carmichael-Smyth of the Bahama Islands, made him Clerk of visitors of the King's School. Governor James Carmichael-Smyth commenting on John Boyd's beautiful penmanship told the colonial office "If your Lordship has time to look at the minutes herewith enclosed; your Lordship will not look at them with less interest for their being in the handwriting of a free black man of the name of Boyd whom I have appointed Clerk of the Visitors."[1] John Boyd had what may be the first book published by a native born black from the Bahama Islands in 1834 called "The Vision and Other Poems in Blank Verse."[2] References1. ^https://books.google.bs/books?id=RkC_x24j7aUC&pg=PA104&lpg=PA104&dq=john+boyd++new+providence&source=bl&ots=IWz0SV55si&sig=GpadmYM0hzxq1pdUz3Tv4w6M3G4&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9_JSo8cXUAhXDKiYKHXlBBRAQ6AEIMjAD#v=onepage&q=john%20boyd%20%20&f=false {{DEFAULTSORT:Boyd, John}}2. ^https://books.google.bs/books?id=eSRJAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA378&lpg=PA378&dq=John+Boyd,+The+Vision+and+other+Poems+in+Blank+Verse&source=bl&ots=1N12IT3mJT&sig=d4aeOetXmeNMkDVKgMYebBZ-Wnc&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjpwLaG1sXUAhXDYyYKHaMHClIQ6AEILjAE#v=onepage&q=John%20Boyd%2C%20The%20Vision%20and%20other%20Poems%20in%20Blank%20Verse&f=false 1 : People from New Providence |
