philliswheatley hashtag performance

#PhillisWheatley celebrates the first African American published poet, highlighting her contributions to literature, struggling against racism, inspiring future generations, and reviving discussions about representation, identity, and resilience in arts.

Phillis Wheatley published her poetry in London because America refused to see her genius. Jefferson, who claimed her work was ‘below the dignity of criticism,’ was too busy building a mythology of freedom while exploiting enslaved people like Sally Hemings. The hypocrisy is staggering. #honesthistory #publichistory #howrevolutionary #patriotmyth #philliswheatley #thomasjefferson

David Waldstreicher’s The Odyssey of Phillis Wheatley offers an unparalleled dive into the life and world of America’s first Black poet, because Waldstreicher knows the period intimately and uses that knowledge to illuminate Wheatley’s genius and struggles within the Atlantic world. Compare that to Daniel Mark Epstein’s The Loyal Son, which seems less like a biography of Benjamin Franklin’s son and more like a case study in how a lack of historical context can leave readers with less understanding of the subject than they started with. Biographies aren’t just about the subject—they’re about the biographer too. If you don’t evaluate the author’s grasp of the period, you’ll miss the chance to fully engage with the complexities of the story. #publichistory #honesthistory #philliswheatley #benjaminfranklin #BookTok #historytok
