Ringgold, Faith. American People Series: Die, Die. 1967. Artstor, library-artstor-org.qbcc.ezproxy.cuny.edu/asset/
"Recalling her motivation for making this work, Ringgold has explained, “I became fascinated with the ability of art to document the time, place, and cultural identity of the artist. How could I, as an African American woman artist, document what was happening around me?” Ringgold’s American People Series confronts race relations in the United States in the 1960s; this work, the mural-scale painting that concluded the series, evokes the riots that were then erupting around the country."
