Phillis Wheatley was born free on October 26, 1775. Kidnapped at 7. Stuffed in the bowels of a ship named The Phillis and enslaved by a Bostonian family named the Wheatley's. So that is what they called her, Phillis Wheatley. They stole her body and her name, but they could not steal her mind. She mastered the English language in mere months. Then Greek and Latin, too. A genius. She went on to become the first Black woman or man in America to publish a book. It was a book of poetry. #NationalPoe
