American born Mexican sculptor and printmaker Elizabeth Catlett designed this sculpture that stands in the West Harlem section of Riverside Park. The sculpture honors Ralph Ellison author of Invisible Man, one of the first novels to point out racial issues in America. He was a neighbor of the area living in front of where the sculpture stands. Catlett has recently passed away at the beginning of this month. Her works focuses on Black expressionistic sculptures and prints most produced during the 60s-70s.
