Wheatley, Phillis (1753?-1784) Phillis Wheatley was the first important black American poet. She was brought to Boston on a slave ship when she was about 8 years old. John Wheatley, a wealthy merchant tailor, bought Phillis as a servant for his wife. The Wheatleys taught Phillis to read and write. She also studied geography, history, and Latin. She began to write poetry when she was about 14. In 1773, she visited England, where her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published that year. Wheatley was deeply religious. Some of her poems expressed her satisfaction at becoming a Christian in American society. She also wrote about more worldly issues, as in "To the Right Honorable William, Earl of Dartmouth" (1773). In this poem, Wheatley contrasted her status as a slave with the demand of the American Colonies for independence. After returning from England, Wheatley was freed and married John Peters, a free black man. Her reputation as a poet soon declined, and she died virtually unknown.

Phillis Wheatley c. 1753 - 1784 Biography Born in Africa, probably in present-day Senegal or Gambia, Phillis Wheatley was brought to Boston when she was around eight years old to be a companion for Susannah Wheatley, the wife of a wealthy tailor. Mrs. Wheatley, part of an enlightened group of Boston Christians who believed that slavery could not be tolerated in Christian households, recognized Phillis's intelligence and saw that she was taught to read and write; Phillis studied the Bible, read Latin poets, and was influenced by Milton, Pope, and Gray. She became well known for her poem eulogizing the Reverend George Whitfield, and when she was nineteen or twenty she traveled to England, accompanied by the Wheatleys' son, with a manuscript of her work. Her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773) inaugurated the black American literary tradition. A group of eighteen prominent citizens of Boston, including the state governor and John Hancock, asserted that Wheatley had composed the poems, although "under the Disadvantage of serving as a Slave in a Family in this Town." A second volume was proposed but never published, and most of the poems and letters have been lost. Explorations Though originally published in 1773, Wheatley's

Celebrate Black History Month Ida Wells-Barnett Anti-Lynching Crusader by Patricia Chadwick www.historyswomen.com Ida Wells-Barnett was an African-American educator, journalist, and a fearless activist who led an anti-lynching crusade in the 1890s. Born in 1862, Ida Wells was the daughter of slaves, growing up in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Her parents were freed from slavery shortly after her birth and the family was supported by the wages her parents brought in. Her mother was a “famous” cook in the area and her father was a skilled carpenter. When Ida was only fourteen-years-old, tragedy struck. An epidemic of Yellow Fever swept through Holly Springs taking the life of her parents and youngest sibling. Rising to the occasion, Ida kept the rest of the family together by securing a teaching position. In order to further her education, she attended near-by Rust College, eventually moved to Memphis, Tennessee to live with her aunt and help raise her younger sisters. When she returned to Memphis, she immediately secured an attorney and sued the railroad. She won her case, initially, but when the railroad company appealed to the Supreme Court of Tennessee, it reversed the decision of the lower court. This was the first of Ida’s many struggles to overturn injustices in America against women and minorities. Soon after the incident with the Memphis railroad, Ida took up the pen. Her teaching career ended after she penned a series of articles that denounced the inadequate education provided to Black children. A short time later Ida became part owner of the Memphis Star newspaper where she used her writing to launch searing attacks against the practice of lynching.

Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784) Phillis Wheatley was born in Senegal. Captured by slave traders in 1761, she was sold to the family of John Wheatley of Boston, Massachusetts. John's daughter Mary tutored Phillis, teaching her to read and write. Phillis Wheatley's first poem, "On the Death of the Reverend Mr. George Whitefield,' was published in 1770. A collection of her work entitled Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in London in 1773, when Phillis was just 20 years old. This was the first book by an African American ever published, and only the second by a woman in the English colonies, according to John Keene. Phillis married John Peters, a free black man, after the death of John Wheatley and his wife. Peters's small grocery store was unsuccessful and Phillis had to work as a servant. No subsequent works of hers were ever published, and she died in poverty at the age of 31. -Haley Savage Sources: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USASwheatley.htm http://pages.nyu.edu/~jrk3150/wheatley.html
