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.
