The Centre for Black Humanities presents:
Join us to watch a new documentary that uncovers the little-known love story of Phillis Wheatley – America's first Black published poet – and John Peters, a free Black man she married in 1778. Building on extensive research, the film reimagines Phillis not only as a literary icon but as a woman who chose love, partnership, and resistance against extraordinary odds.
There will also be a post-screening Q&A with director, Leslie Askew.
