This piece, as previously mentioned, is a story quilt made from acrylic on canvas, with dyed, painted, and pieced fabric. It dates from 1983 and measures 90 x 80'' (Faith Ringgold). This image features fabric squares of fifteen African American women, three African American girls, three African American men, one African American boy, two Caucasian men, three Caucasian women, and one Native American man, all painted on yellow and brown fabric. Nine squares of fabric bear words telling the story of Aunt Jemima, Faith's idea of ​​a black feminist hero (Faith Ringgold). Patches of colorful flowers and patterns, such as reds, blues and purples, can also be found throughout the quilt. The center square of the quilt reads: "Who's Afraid of Aunt Jamima?" Quilt and Book by Faith Ringgold.” Who's Afraid of Aunt Jamima is a perfect example of a work from the feminist movement and illustrates Faith's goals of achieving equality for African American women. The quilt depicts a strong African American woman who the artist considers a hero. I believe Faith used this play to show the world that there can be heroes who are not only women, but also heroes.
