Tammica Pixley, Phillis Wheatley Repertory Theatre for Youth Alumna Founded in 1919 as an etiquette class for young African-American women of Greenville, South Carolina, the Phillis Wheatley Association expanded over the next 75 years to include tutoring and counseling, sports, visual art, and music appreciation in after-school and summer programs. By 1985, the culminating summer camp talent show suggested an opportunity to engage young people in musical theater. As Claudette Alexander-Thomason of Clemson University's Brooks Center for the Performing Arts wrote: Thus, the Repertory Theatre for Youth was born. It was only natural that Dwight Woods, known as the Pied Piper, would be at the helm of this venture because he has an anointed gift for nurturing the talent of others. He challenges young people to achieve - to reach beyond their potential. He does this by using theater as the vehicle for life-altering change in the lives of children who have been all but thrown away by this society.

Search for Identity In 1767, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, Phillis Wheatley published her first poem in The Mercury , a Newport, Rhode Island, newspaper. Three years later she composed an elegy on the death of the Reverend George Whitefield, the popular itinerant minister who had spread evangelical Christianity throughout the colonies. Published first in The Massachusetts Spy and eventually appearing in broadside and pamphlet form in New York, Philadelphia, Newport, and London, Wheatley's elegy for Whitefield brought her international recognition. Because her poetry was published as the work of "a Servant Girl . . . Belonging to Mr. J. Wheatley of Boston: And has been but 9 Years in this Country from Africa," Phillis's readers knew that she was an African American slave. By 1772, she had compiled a collection of twenty-eight poems that she hoped to publish as a book. Unfortunately, Wheatley's advertisements in the Boston newspapers seeking subscribers to help finance her proposed book yielded few patrons. With the help of Susannah Wheatley and the patronage of the Countess of Huntingdon, she then traveled to England, where her book

    Extractions: Phillis Wheatley’s first and only book of published poetry was titled Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral ; it was published in England. There are two versions of the history of this book’s publication: one is that the Countess Selina of Huntington invited Phillis to London and found a publisher for the poet; the other is that Phillis suffered from asthma, and so the Wheatley family took her to England to recuperate, and while there, they sought publication of her work. In May 1968 one poem written by Phillis Wheatley brought $68,500 at Christie's auction, Rockefeller Center in New York. It had been estimated to bring between $18,000 and $25,000. The poem is titled "Ocean"; its seventy lines were written on three pages that had yellowed with time. It is thought to be the only copy. Phillis Wheatley was born in Senegal, Africa in 1753. At age seven she was brought to America and sold to John and Susannah Wheatley of Boston. She soon became a family member instead of a slave. The Wheatleys taught Phillis to read, and she was soon reading classic literature in Greek and Latin, as well as English. But her talent did not stop with reading, because she began to write poetry, influenced by the Bible and the English poets, particularly John Milton, Alexander Pope, and Thomas Gray.

The following selection reproduces her article which was published in the Kansas Humanities Council's History Alive! Study Guide (1995) pp. 3-5. Phillis Wheatley defied all expectations of her class, race, and gender to become an internationally celebrated poet. She wrote herself from the obscurity of slavery into the annals of the American literary scene. Even though she later died in near obscurity, the words she wove in her lifetime immortalize her memory. Today, her works continue to generate interest from scholars and to inspire the student of life's struggles and achievements. When Phillis Wheatley landed in America on July 11, 1761, a frail West African girl barely 8 years old, she could not guess the extraordinary life that awaited her. As she stood on the auction block in Boston, she must have been terrified and no doubt confused by the strange faces and the strange language spoken around her. Brutally snatched from her homeland, she was now homeless, without a country, without a family, without identity. Based on the horrors she had experienced on the slave ship during the "middle passage," she could scarcely have imagined anything better awaiting herthat is provided she had strength left to do any imagining.

Internet Research Guide Textbook Site for: The Heath Anthology of American Literature , Fifth Edition Known best for her Christian verses reflecting orthodox piety, Phillis Wheatley (Peters) in fact wrote on a wide variety of topics. A kidnapped African slave child, aged about seven years old, she was sold from the South Market in Boston to well-to-do Susanna Wheatley. She was raised in a pious Christian household, and the precocious child evidently experienced special, much-indulged comfort and only token slavery. (Phillis Wheatley was manumitted by October 18, 1773.) Tutored by family members, she quickly learned English, Latin, and the Bible, and she began writing in 1765, four years after arriving in Boston harbor. She wrote to Reverend Samson Occom, a converted Christian Mohican Indian minister, and she sent a poem to Reverend Joseph Sewall of Boston’s Old South Church. Both this letter and poem are not extant, but a poem from this early period remains: in 1767, when she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, Phillis Wheatley published her first verses in a Newport, Rhode Island, newspaper. By 1772 she had composed enough poems to advertise twenty-eight of them in The Boston Censor for February 29, March 14, and April 11. She hoped to publish a volume of her poems that year in Boston.
