Langston Hughes Ways to Contribute Authors Annotated Bibliographies Resources ... Contributors -Phillis Wheatley Biography-Criticism Phillis Wheatley, an influential African American writer, was born in Senegal, Africa in 1753. Kidnapped and sold into slavery, she was bought by an American couple, John and Susanna Wheatley, in Boston when she was seven. However, the Wheatley family was remarkably compassionate and taught her English and Christianity. Unfortunately, she did not attend a formal grammar school; however, her owners did teach her Greek, mythology, history and Latin. She believed her enslavement benefited her because it brought her to the Christian faith. In 1778, she married a black man, John Peters, after receiving her freedom on October 18, 1773, but she was never able to support the type of family she wanted. Wheatley and Peters had three children who all died as toddlers.
