| The African American unity flag ® Meaning “In this will I be confident” At the hoist [left] representing the continent of Africa we find the colors green, yellow and red which are known as the pan African colors. The lion representing royalty and strength of African American people, historically dating back to ancient Ethiopia, “the cradle of civilization". At the center of the flag we find the Flag of the United States of America, displayed in it's Presidential display position. The meaning has been revised to exemplify an African American meaning. The blue field: is symbolic of the waters that separate African Americans from Africa and also serves as a memorial to our forefathers that were buried at sea during the Diaspora. The star field: represents all of the African American heroes and heroines. The four red stripes: represents a heroes salute to the descendants of Africans for surviving over (400) years of oppression in the USA. It also represents the blood that is still being shed fighting for freedom and equality. The three white stripes: are symbolic of our faith in God, hope for a better tomorrow and charity one towards another. At the far [right] are the colors red, black and green which symbolizes our determination and fight for political and economic power in the USA & the world. It also symbolizes the awakening of the consciousness of African Americans during the period 1950 – 1960 the black power movement. Realize this: The above is the personification of the African American experience as it is unique only to African Americans. This is our symbol of history and unity.
