Inhaltsangabe

For Whom It Stands presents diverse stories of the flag with a wide angle perspective in which we all can see ourselves reflected in the national fabric. In these pages, we encounter pride, protest, conflict, and personal expressions from Americans of varied cultural backgrounds. This volume introduces us to Grace Wisher, the 13-year old African American indentured servant who helped to sew the original Star Spangled Banner in 1813. Essays trace the flag's historical import and its manifestations in contemporary culture. A focus is the role of art and artists in ensuring that the flag remains a living symbol. For Whom It Stands: The Flag and the American People is organized by the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture. The exhibition is curated by Michelle Joan Wilkinson.
