“Hang a Thousand Trees with Ribbons” in review
Over the last quarter, i had the opportunity to read the book“Hang a Thousand Trees with Ribbons” by Ann Rinaldi. This book was about the african enslaved woman named Phillis Wheatley who lived in america during the periods before and after the civil war. It traced her journey with the Wheatley family in boston as she became not only a well educated woman, but the first published black poet in America in 1767. Some of the events that i most enjoyed reading about was for when Phillis got captured to cross the atlantic as an enslaved person and when the Wheatley's gave her a chance to become an educated person although it was unheard of. The author was great in including these events as they were
