TW: This piece of "art" provides an intriguing interpretation of individual symbols of the American experience (the contrast between those in the lower left v. lower right in particular). I cannot say that I concur with this view but again I believe this piece represents the views of a significant minority of Americans, who vote like the rest of us, and is a fairly good synopsis. The tricky part, of course, would be reconciling the centerpiece of the work to those who do not hew the same philosophy. Furthermore, while the piece pays respect to civil rights activities of the 1960's, I would wonder where representatives of more contemporary issues like say Harvey Milk etc. are.
