In Phillis Wheatley I Proved Intellectual Equality in the Midst of Slavery.

Portrait of poet Phillis Wheatley seated with quill pen and paper, with enslaved black women in the background. This is one of fourteen of a series of linocuts by Mexican and American artist Elizabeth Catlett, which was first produced in 1946-47, under the series title "I Am the Negro Woman." This edition was reprinted by the artist in 1989 with the updated title "I am the Black Woman." The series declares a narrative about the black woman in America, with each image and title presenting one phrase of the narrative.
