It is great to see everything that Phillis accomplished in her life. And, very saddening only to see those wonderful accolades come crashing down around her after she married and started her own life, outside the Wheatley family. Phillis had an impact in the American Revolution. Wether she is given credit in history is one thing. She wrote beautiful letters filled to the brim with her poetry about how slavery and the revolution were linked together. A great read on a very important trailblazer in the black community. no reviews | add a review
