The Pledge

Digital Print

Growing up as American children in public schools, every morning we performed the Pledge of Allegiance. Referencing imagery of Dorthea Lange’s photo pf Japanese American girls during WWII, we continue to question our place and identity in America. Has there been change or has our situation continued to remain relatively the same.
