La ley del más fuerte, la ausencia de normas de convivencia, físicas o virtuales, no es libertad, es tiranía.
Su libertad acaba donde empieza la de los demás, no te dejes engañar.

Phillis Wheatley Peters (c. 1753 – 1784) was the first African American and one of the first women in colonial America to publish a book of poetry.

Phillis Wheatley Peters (c. 1753 – 1784) was the first African American and one of the first women in colonial America to publish a book of poetry. Enslaved as a child and later freed, she became a transatlantic literary figure whose neoclassical verse and moral insight challenged 18th-century assumptions about race, intellect, and art. Captured and sold into slavery at about age 7, Wheatley was brought to Boston aboard the slave ship Phillis, from which she took her name. Purchased by John and Susanna Wheatley, she was educated in the household—a rarity for enslaved persons—learning English, Latin, Greek, and biblical literature. By her early teens, she was composing poetry that reflected neoclassical style and Christian themes. Wheatley’s first major recognition came with “An Elegiac Poem on the Death of the Reverend George Whitefield” (1770). In 1773, with support from English abolitionist patron Selina Hastings, Countess of Huntingdon, her collection Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in London. It was the first book by an enslaved African and made her an international sensation, praised by figures including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Freed shortly after her book’s publication, Wheatley married John Peters, a free Black man, in 1778. Economic hardship and the deaths of her children marked her final years; she died impoverished at 31. Long after, her writings became a cornerstone of African American literature, cited by abolitionists and honored through memorials, including the Boston Women’s Memorial and Wheatley Hall at UMass Boston.

La fotografía de vida silvestre, dice el autor de la imagen, puede ser algo más que fotografiar al animal. Puedes contar una historia de su lugar en la naturaleza.
