As the first African American to publish a book of poetry, Phillis Wheatley (c.1753-1784) eloquently expressed the human desire for freedom from tyranny and bondage... "In every human Breast, God has implanted a Principle, which we call Love of Freedom; it is impatient of Oppression, and pants for Deliverance."
