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. 600 10 $a Clark, Sonya $v Exhibitions. 600 17 $a Clark, Sonya. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00475342 650 0 $a African American women artists $x History $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a African American artists $x History $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Artists, Black $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Textile crafts $x History $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Flags in art $x History $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Performance art $x History $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Art and the war. 650 7 $a Flags in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00926963 655 7 $a Exhibition catalogs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01424028 700 1 $a Cassel Oliver, Valerie, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Brundage, W.
