Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A collage work depicting a kneeling figure with pieces of the United States flag. The figure is shown as a silhouette of cut out paper, painted in in tones of black and grey. The figure kneels on one knee with a hand raised, possibly with an open palm. The head appears to be tipped back with the face upraised. A three dimensional scrap of the American flag hangs from the back of the head with another piece of the flag draped between the figure's legs and trailing behind.
