How it all Began!
Phillis Wheatley Civic Club was named for one of the first female poets in America, Phillis Wheatley (1753-1784). She was born in Africa and came to America at the age of 8 on a slave ship and was taken to Boston. She was purchased at an auction by a Boston tailor, who made her a servant for his wife. She was taught to read and write by their daughter, and also learned Geography, History, English and Latin. At the age of 14 she began writing Poetry. Some of her works are available at the McCall Neighborhood Center!
