In the 1980s New York City art scene, Jean-Michel Basquiat was a revolutionary artist renowned for his exploration of subjects such as race, identity, and social commentary, as well as his raw, evocative manner. As he evolved from a graffiti artist to a well-known painter, Basquiat frequently combined aspects of African art, street culture, and personal experiences into his paintings. Prospective generations of artists are prompted by Basquiat's artwork, which magnetizes audiences worldwide and leaves an impression that lasts.

And now the Pledge of Allegiance!

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
