About The Work
This tea towel reproduces artist Faith Ringgold's work American People Series #13: God Bless America (1964), painted during the height of the American Civil Rights movement when the legal system enforced white prejudice against African Americans. Using the symbols in the American flag to protest racism and sexism, Ringgold reckons with issues of American identity and democracy: free speech, estrangement, citizenship, and belonging. A functional product for use in your kitchen or adorn your wall with it as artwork framed and proudly displayed.
