‘American people series #20 die’, 1967 is a paint from Faith Ringgold.

This Piece evokes the riots that were then erupting around the country. On the canvas, blood spatters evenly across an interracial group of men, women, and children, suggesting that no one is free from this struggle. Their clothing—smart dresses and business attire—implies that a well-off professional class is being held accountable in this scene of violent chaos.

I chose this piece because Violence is something has become a social problem and we are seeing it even more this day. The attack on the Capitol, The vandalism in clothes stores that was just happening in Manhattan and the Bronx, crime has increase drastically and it seem like nothing is being done to stop it as police feel powerless. This piece is a create example of the 60’s, 70’s but it fit todays situation as well. This also show us that all races, genders and ages are being affect by violence and crime.
