"American Born"

John Outerbridge's piece, "American Born" from his Rag Man Series (pieces created over a period of time ranging from 1970-2012). In comparison to "Traditional Hang-Up", the flag usage here and in other key pieces done by Outterbridge (like "Déjà Vu-Do"), suggest the theme of a struggle for African American's to find their identity within American culture.
