February is Black History Month. Today, Rho Kappa, the National Social Studies Honor Society honors:
Phillis Wheatley. Phillis Wheatley was a slave in Boston when she became the first published black poet in America in 1767. She was purchased in 1761 by John and Susannah Wheatley, who saw that she learned English literature, Latin, and Greek, and was considered a prodigy among the people of Boston, thanks to her sophisticated verse and lively personality.
