The Howard University Gallery of Art is lending three works by alumna Elizabeth Catlett to the exhibition 'She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory' at the Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum. The loan includes the prints 'My Right is a Future of Equality with Other Americans,' 'My Role Has Been Important in the Struggle to Organize the Unorganized,' and 'In Sojourner Truth I Fight For the Rights of Other Women.'
This collaboration highlights Howard University's role as a steward of Black artistic heritage and extends its educational mission. The loan agreement includes student engagement opportunities with the museum, reinforcing the exhibition's focus on art as a vehicle for historical reckoning and cultural continuity through a Black feminist lens.
