Washington, 1963. First Edition. Paper pennant measuring 10 1/16 × 16 7/16 inches. Tip detached and toned but easily restorable, some wear and small amount of loss at shortest side, very good minus condition overall. Very Good. One of only a few known copies of this American flag-themed pennant from the March on Washington, notable for its incorporation of the American flag motif. Adaptations of the flag design were common in political graphics of the nineteenth century, though the tradition dwindled in the twentieth century. The forty three stars shown appear to have no significance, nor do the seventeen stripes. As many of the items created for the March on Washington were made by different groups attending the event, most ephemeral items do not survive in any quantity. This pennant is featured in "For Whom it Stands: The Flag and the American People" by Michelle Joan Wilkerson (2015, Reginald F. Lewis Museum for Maryland African American History and Culture), p. 22 and 61, and a copy is held at the National Museum of African-American Culture.
