Phillis Wheatley: A Poet's Journey to Freedom

Phillis Wheatley Peters was born in West Africa in 1753. At the age of eight, she was kidnapped and enslaved. Phillis's true story will stir your heart. From the plains of Africa to a wharf in Boston, where she was sold into slavery. With brilliance, courage, and faith, she overcame her circumstances to become the founder of African American literature! Her genius showed many early American leaders that slavery is evil. The first African American and one of the first women to publish a book of poetry in the colonies, Wheatley learned to read and write English by the age of nine, familiarizing herself with Latin, Greek, the Bible, and selected classics at an early age.

Peaceful Path

By Floyd Boykin Jr

4-22-2025

As I embrace evolution 

I embrace the beauty of nature. 

I have learned to smell purple irises

and to value its existence.

 

Wind, insects and birds 

are the conductors of melodic tones.

God is the ultimate visual artist 

The earth is a well painted canvas

 

I have painted a picture 

of consistent peace. 

loving the trees, the breeze 

and loving me. 

 

I hug the spirit of divinity.

Dreaming of tranquility 

Hoping that humanity 

will finally embrace serenity.
