Jones-Hogu also created a work entitled " Stop Genocide . " The work was based on gangs , which she thought could be used as a force for good if they came together . However , she felt that the gangs were engaging in " self-genocide " instead of aiming to stop genocide , which she defined as " w hite on black genocide and crime . " She printed this work on Japanese handmade paper , instead of her usual paper that she used for AfriCOBRA prints . The latter paper started to become fragile over the years , prompting her to switch . She printed at the Illinois Institute of Technology , as she did not have a studio at the time . She produced many works with the flag for her thesis at the Illinois Institute of Technology . During this time , she also was filmed for a portion of the documentary Medium Cool , but her parts were not used . Jones-Hogu said that makers of the documentary wished to ask young " radical " African-Americans about the potential turmoil in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention . She remembered that she spoke on " the racial and the political attitudes and conditions in the city "
