Flag for the Moon, Die Nigger

Faith Ringgold Flag for the Moon: Die Nigger (1969). Ringgold used her art to protest racism and gender inequality. In this work she is trying to say, that we can put a man in the moon, but we can’t figure the logic that is everyone is equal.  Again art plays a crucial role in conveying the message to people. For me the art has a very strong persuasive message. And am big fan when art is use to set a statement.
