THEY MADE AMERICA
OCTOBER 2023


Transforming the cover of an American History book from the 1950s by adding images of the KKK breaks away from the narrative of “America the Great” by showing a true, more honest history. This book by Edna McGuire portrayed America as being built by brave, honest, and good men, leaving out all the bad and unjust aspects of American history. This book cover parodies the forced and manipulated "truth" of America and instead reveals the reality that America tries to hide.
