Faith Ringgold | Flag for the Moon: Die Nigger Die (1969)
Oil on canvas
36 x 50”This artwork was inspired by the title of the book, “Die Nigger Die!” by H. Rap Brown (now known as Jamil Abdullah al-Amin), who was an active member of the Black Panther party. Note the year this piece was made. It was a reference to how Americans were able to put a man on the moon, but still lacks in progress of race relations and equality. Another thing that influences this art work the idea of removing the power/hurt behind the word, ‘nigger’. By taking it away from the racists, it removes the impact. This, idea was shared by Jamil Abdullah al-Amin himself. The latter is, of course, still up for debate until this very day.
The irony…this was right below a post of some greyface telling someone I follow the very same.
This book is amazing. A teaching gem. (Taken with instagram)
