I have chosen David Hammons’ work Boy with Flag (1968) to analyze. To me‚ I think this work shows literally a boy’s love for his country.

Throughout the majority of Langston Hughes literary work there were racial tones. He mocks the illusion that America puts to the outside world that there is opportunity for all and the equality among all people.

“Make America Great Again” is a phrase that will forever live in infamy. Those four simple words will always be associated with the darkest stain ever seen on both American history‚ and the Office of the President. Donald J. Trump was elected as President of the United States on November 8th‚ 2017‚ and on that day morals and truth became irrelevant.
