Phyllis Wheatley was a young African-American slave who belonged to landowner John Wheatley in colonial America. She was also a poet and the first African-American ever to publish a book. Her Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was printed in Boston in 1773, three years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Early slaves were generally denied education, but Wheatley was allowed by her owner to study poetry, Latin and the Bible.
