📖 Phillis Wheatley Historical Costume – Black History Figure Ensemble
This beautifully detailed costume brings to life one of the most influential figures in early African American literature: Phillis Wheatley. Born in Africa and sold into slavery at the age of seven, Wheatley was purchased by the Wheatley family of Boston. Remarkably progressive for the time, John Wheatley instructed his children to teach Phillis to read and write. She quickly displayed extraordinary literary talent, eventually becoming an acclaimed poet and one of the first published African American women in history.
Her accomplishments brought her recognition from prominent figures such as George Washington and Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, cementing her place as a pioneer in both African American and women’s history.
