Howardena Pindell's 1992 piece, "Separate but Equal Genocide: AIDS," is a powerful commentary on the AIDS crisis. Using an American flag as her canvas, Pindell lists the names of individuals who have died from AIDS, highlighting the devastating impact of the disease on the Black community. The artist's use of fabric strips with names embroidered on them gives the work a somber and haunting feel. This piece is a reminder of the urgency of social justice issues and the importance of remembering those who have been lost.
