Stone Mirrors: The Sculpture and Silence of Edmonia Lewis
Jeannine Atkins
Told in free verse, this biographical novel traces the life of Edmonia Lewis, a Black Ojibwe orphan who attends an early college open to students of every race in 1859. She grows into a sculptor in the years after the Civil War. Lewis was half Native American and half African American, and the account acknowledges that much of her past remains uncertain because she said and wrote little about it.
