![]() ![]() ![]() Ostensibly, this is the all too brief and sad story of Phillis Wheatley, a 7-year-old African slave girl brought in 1761 to Boston, where she was bought by the wife of a prominent tailor and merchant named John Wheatley. Because it is small in size and modest in price, I predict many of you will want to buy multiple copies to give to your favorite dinner-table ranters because your own copy will find a permanent home on your bookshelf. If you have any interest in where this nation has been or where it is headed, this tiny pamphlet is the most clearly written, thoughtful and ultimately hopeful exposition about the American paradox about equality and race that you can find. I have never said this about any of the 100 or so books I have reviewed until now: Go out and buy this book immediately. ![]()
