The Star Spangled Banner Played With White History Collage… With inserted Historical Corrections

From the 1950s, until the late 1980s, Television stations signed off between 2am to 6am generally. They played a collage of American Exceptionalism and/or a glorification of our military, with the Star Spangled Banner played in the background. I used one of these collages and added the ‘real history’ behind several scenes shown to be ‘American History.’ The truth be told, these collages were nothing more than glorified white male american history….History that conveniently left out important people from the narrative due to racism. This was my attempt to point out some of those whitewashed moments. And for the record, I believe that the Star Spangled Banner should not be the National Anthem. It does not represent ALL Americans….the author of it said so himself. In this age of COVID 19 and the TV murder of George Floyd, I believe that this song will be next to be put into the museums and become a historical footnote in American History from here on.
