Hello, Irma! This was an interesting question to research. I've assembled a number of links that will provide you with quite a bit of reading matter on this subject. You'll find an excellent and highly detailed history of graffiti here: New York City Cyber Bench http://www.at149st.com/history.html Some comprehensive histories of graffiti: Davey D's Hip Hop Corner http://www.daveyd.com/historyofgraf.html Hip Hop Network http://www.hiphop-network.com/articles/graffitiarticles/historyofgraff-arpone.asp Graffiti Removal Program http://www.graffitiremovalpdx.org/aboutgrafhist.html Here's a discussion of "taggers" and gang graffiti: National Alliance of Gang Investigators Association http://www.nagia.org/graffiti.htm A glossary of terms related to graffiti and tagging: Archived from Washington State Narcotics Investigators Association http://216.239.57.100/search?q=cache:OTid5pXKJb8C:www.wsnia.org/graffiti_update.htm Regarding graffiti on bombs, here's a close-up of the tail fin of "Little Boy," the atomic bomb which was dropped on Nagasaki. Notice the rather chilling "Here's to You!" US National Archives and Records Administration http://media.nara.gov/media/images/29/13/29-1248a.gif Here is an article about anti-Arab graffiti on bombs used during Operation Desert Fox: Southnews http://southmovement.alphalink.com.au/southnews/981223-ADC.htm Controversy over an anti-gay slur on a bomb destined for Afghanistan: Total Obscurity http://www.totalobscurity.com/mind/wtc/antigay-bomb.html Search terms used: "history of graffiti" "bomb graffiti" I hope this is useful. If anything above is unclear or incomplete, please request clarification before rating my answer; I'll be glad to offer further assistance. Best wishes, pinkfreud |
