Sculpture on the R is Phillis Wheatley. First name has two "i"s.
The work and legacy of Boston’s Phillis Wheatley, the first black woman in America to have her poetry published (George Washington was a fan), is currently on display in “Freedom Rising: Reading, Writing and Publishing Black Books,” a new exhibition at the Museum of African-American History on Beacon Hill.
