A Confederate horseman carried a humble white linen towel into the lines of General George Custer, near the courthouse at Appomattox. The horseman was sent on behalf of General Robert E. Lee, who was requesting a suspension of hostilities while General Ulysses S. Grant proposed terms of surrender. Focusing on this Confederate Flag of Truce, Afro-Caribbean American artist (and professor at Amherst College) Sonya Clark (born 1967) explores the legacy of symbols and challenges the power of propaganda, erasures and omissions through her works. By making the Truce Flag a cloth that brokered peace and represented the promise of reconciliation into a monumental alternative to the infamous Confederate Battle Flag and its pervasive divisiveness, Clark instigates a role reversal and aims to correct a historical imbalance. 504 Includes bibliographical references. 600 10 Clark, Sonya |vExhibitions. 650 0 African American women artists |xHistory |y21st century |vExhibitions. 650 0 African American artists |xHistory |y21st century |vExhibitions. 650 0 Artists, Black |y21st century |vExhibitions. 650 0 Textile crafts |xHistory |y21st century |vExhibitions. 650 0 Flags in art |xHistory |y21st century |vExhibitions. 650 0 Performance art |xHistory |y21st century |vExhibitions. 651 0 United States |xHistory |yCivil War, 1861-1865 |vArt and the war. 650 7 Textile crafts. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01148602 650 7 Performance art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01057852 650 7 Artists, Black. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00817711 650 7 African American women artists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799474 650 7 African American artists. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799017 650 7 Flags in art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00926963 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 647 7 American Civil War |c(United States : |d1861-1865) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01351658 648 7 1861-2099 |2fast 655 7 exhibition catalogs. |2aat 655 7 works of art. |2aat 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Art. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01423702 655 7 Exhibition catalogs. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01424028 655 7 Exhibition catalogs. |2lcgft 655 7 Art. |2lcgft 700 1 Talbott, Susan Lubowsky, |ewriter of foreword. 700 1 Cassel Oliver, Valerie, |econtributor. 700 1 Brundage, W.
