Artist Dread Scott makes revolutionary art to propel history forward.vHe first received national attention in 1989 when his art became the center of controversy over its use of the American flag. President George H.W. Bush declared his artwork “What Is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?” “disgraceful,” and the entire U.S. Senate outlawed the work.
“What Is the Proper Way to Display the American Flag? To Refuse Fascism, We Need Art of Resistance and Art for Revolution” – Dread Scott
