Abstract
- The article focuses on Phillis Wheatley, the first African American poet to publish a complete book of poetry. It mentions she was kidnapped and sold into slavery, but her poetry and narrative demonstrate her resistance to the "Sambo" slave personality type and her advocacy for slave rights and freedoms, challenging stereotypes and contributing to the abolitionist movement.
