Episode description
Considered to be the First African American poet Ms. Phyillis Wheatley was born in Gambia or Senegal, West Africa. She was kidnapped and enslaved at the tender age of 7 or 8 years by John and Susanna Wheatley. Unlike the other colonizers they pushed her education and she became a published author in London, England. After her first book was published she was freed from slavery and continued to write until her death.
