Flag Salute
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Flag Salute is a poem written by Esther Popel about the lynching of George Armwood on October 18, 1933 in Princess Anne, Maryland.[1][2] It was first published in August 1934 in The Crisis[3] and later republished in its entirety on the cover of The Crisis in 1940.[1]
It juxtaposes the murder of Armwood with quotations from the Pledge of Allegiance.[4] The poem reflects that lynching in the United States had become a "ritual of interracial social control."[5]
