Whisper to Me: A Conversation Through Time is an exhibition that invites you to witness the remarkable journey of African American poets Phillis Wheatley and Telicia Darius. Phillis Wheatley, the first African American to publish a book of poetry in 1773, paved the way for future generations with her groundbreaking work, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. This year marks the 250th anniversary of this significant publication, and in celebration, the Delaware Valley Chapter of Guild Book Workers (DVCGBW) has commissioned Telicia Darius, the 2022-23 Philadelphia Youth Poet Laureate, to write a powerful poem in response. 

At the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, located in Philadelphia, you will have the opportunity to explore this exhibition from November 8 to January 12, 2024. Immerse yourself in the world of these two influential poets as you witness their works displayed alongside historical documents related to Phillis Wheatley. By attending the exhibition opening on November 8, you will not only have the chance to meet some of the talented artists behind these inspired books, but you will also engage in a thought-provoking conversation with the work of Phillis Wheatley. 

The Guild of Book Workers, located in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware, is dedicated to promoting the tradition of book and paper arts through its commitment to high standards of workmanship, educational opportunities, and exhibits. The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, founded in 1824, serves as a vital archive of historical documents and is proud to be Philadelphia’s Library of American History. With over 21 million manuscripts, books, and graphic images, the Historical Society offers a wealth of resources to elevate your understanding of US history. Through workshops, research opportunities, public programs, and lectures, the society strives to make history relevant and exhilarating for all.

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.
