Historic American flags displayed at Presidential Debate
Two Washington University graduates have installed sixteen rare and historically important American flags for the debates at Washington University in St. Louis. With different star and stripe patterns, methods of manufacture, and uses, the flags show how the U.S. grew and developed throughout the 19th century. Revealing not just how the flag changed over time, but also how political campaigns evolved, the flags provide an enlightening historical context in which to view the debates.
