 Phillis Wheatley was the first African American, the first slave, and the third woman in the United States to publish a book of poems. Kidnapped in West Africa and transported aboard the slave ship Phillis to Boston in 1761, she was purchased by John Wheatley as a servant for his wife. Young Phillis quickly learned to speak English and to read the Bible with amazing fluency Because of her poor health, obvious intelligence, and Susannah Wheatley's fondness for her, Phillis was never trained as a domestic; instead she was encouraged by the Wheatleys to study theology which is the study of religon and the English, Latin and Greek classics. She published her first poem in 1767, and six years later, she published a book, //**Poems on Various Subjects**//. That same year, John Wheatley emancipated her or free'd her. ​

 * //Lemuel Haynes was probably the first African American ordained by a mainstream Church in the United States.
 * //His last appointment was in //**  **//Manchester, Vermont, where he counseled two men convicted of murder,they narrowly escaped hanging when the alleged "victim" reappeared. Haynes's writings on the seven year ordeal became a bestseller for a decade.

For the last eleven years of his life, Haynes ministered to a congregation in upstate New York. He died in 1833, at the age of 80.

Nearly 150 years after his death, a manuscript written by Haynes around 1776 was discovered, in which he seriously stated ♥That an African has an undeniable right to his Liberty.♥ The statement went on to make slavery as sin, and pointed out the ego of slave owners fighting for their own liberty while denying it to others. //**
