My favorite thing from this Independence Day is this vibrant, positive declaration reclaiming the United States for all of us from Jameelah Nuriddin and Erin Hammond.
Imagine a ‘New America’: reclaiming the American flag – in pictures
With the explosion of global protests and activism demanding an end to racial inequality, Jameelah Nuriddin and Erin Hammond consider the complicated relationship between African Americans and the American flag in a series of photos. The eight images capture a giant 200-year-old flag, a young black woman with a giant afro, and various postures combining the pledge of allegiance and black power poses.
… Envision a world where all humans are free and equal – where we prize each other over material things
–Jameelah Nuriddin and Erin Hammond.
– we stand against tyranny and oppression, hatred and fear
