good morning, remember that when you're doing pride solidarity stuff on tumblr that You and Your Friends and Your Supporters are simply using tumblr as your platform. do not ever give credit to tumblr itself. down to its core, its foundation, its ceo and its staff, tumblr is a irrevocably transphobic platform that routinely shuts down transgender people and hits them with undue censorship at every opportunity. this is the site whose ceo personally perma banned a trans woman, leaked all of her sideblogs and chased her to twitter to continue harassing her. do not fall for the vivian celebration posting, it's all a smokescreen. it's all corporate damage control. don't buy it for a second. stop buying badges and paying for blazes.

She was called Phillis, because that was the name of the ship that brought her, and Wheatley, which was the name of the merchant who bought her. She was born in Senegal.

In Boston, the slave traders put her up for sale: “She's 7 years old! She will be a good mare!”

At thirteen, she was already writing poems in a language that was not her own. No one believed that she was the author. At the age of twenty, Phillis was questioned by a court of eighteen enlightened men in robes and wigs.

She had to recite passages from Virgil and Milton and some verses from the Bible, and she also had to vow that the poems she had composed were not copied. From a chair, she underwent her lengthy examination, until the court approved her: she was a woman, she was Black, she was enslaved, but she was a poet.

Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States.
