Edmonia Lewis
Edmonia Lewis
was the first African/ Native American female artist. She also was
the first woman of her race to be recognized as a sculptor. In
addition, she was the first woman to attend an American college on a
non-segregated basis. Art historians say her work "shows the will and
strength of oppressed people struggling to be free." As such, she was
among the first to strike a blow for civil rights.
