2024 Finalist, Grade 10

Acrylic, colored pencil, and pen on paper.

17 x 12 in

Teacher: Grace Choi

Excerpt from artist’s Impact Statement: "When the build-up towards the Civil War was taught in my AP US history class, there were no mentions of Elizabeth Graham. Only 3 abolitionists were mentioned, only to be barely acknowledged. Only through this contest did I learn about Elizabeth Jennings Graham. Like many of the other unsung heroes, Elizabeth Graham deserves recognition for the impact and significance she brings to history."
