The Flag is Bleeding #2 (American Collection #6) 1997

Faith Ringgold's 1997 "The Flag is Bleeding #2" is a powerful and complex piece of art. The piece depicts a black woman, seemingly bleeding from her chest, with two children standing on either side of her. The background is an American flag, with the red stripes dripping with blood. The work is a powerful commentary on the violence and racism experienced by Black Americans. Ringgold is known for her use of storytelling and her quilts as canvases. This piece is a poignant example of the way she blends social commentary and textile art. The piece is a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by Black people in the United States and a call for justice and equality.
