Sometimes called Marcus Garvey’s flag, it was intended as a sign of freedom, pride and political power for black Americans. During the Black Lives Matter movement, the thin blue line took on extra meaning. The Blue Lives Matter movement adopted the thin blue line flag as a symbol to support police officers when faced opposition from the Black Lives Matter movement.

The Black Stripes highlight African-American families and their important economic, spiritual, social, and political contributions to America. The blue stripes illustrate rising skies that will always build a bridge between African Americans and Africa. The Red Stripes speak of the passionate and moving fire in the hearts of African Americans and that their blood shed in defense of freedom will not be in vain. Many people believe that this may have been the flag that Francis Hopkins designed, but again, this is just speculation. However, American punk rock singers use black and red flags as album covers. The original design includes patterns that begin with stripes that end with dark stripes.

The blue above and the red symbolize the washing of the blood-soaked soil; the blood shed by African-American slaves for the United States. The white five-pointed star in a 12-pointed star represents a nova, to symbolize the birth of a new star. The new star symbolizes a new beginning for newly liberated African Americans. The flag was updated in 2007 by Haith with the date, June 19, 1865, which marks the last of the slaves to be freed. At this point, there seems to be no established definition for the meaning of a black American Flag.

The all-black representation of the American flag in which stripes and stars are almost indistinguishable from each other. And then there is the black and white where the colors blue and red are taken. A thin red line flag is a variant of the American flag that is black and white with a red stripe. More specifically, normally red and white stripes alternate black and white stripes with a single red stripe in between.

The flag also has 50 stars, representing a total of 50 of its states. The American flag symbolizes the values, history, and unity of our nation. The colors of the flag represent different aspects of these values. At the time, the goal of Garvey’s movement was to establish a political home for blacks in Africa. Hill says Garvey modeled his thinking on other nationalist movements at the time: the Jewish-Zionist movement, the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, the struggle against imperialism in China. And it was the Irish struggle for independence that, according to Hill, “unofficially gave Garvey much of the political vocabulary of his movement”.

The shade of red used is slightly brighter than the red we are used to seeing on the American flag.

The color red represents the blood that African Americans shed for freedom and equality in America. The sword of Rome evokes pride, and the wreath symbolizes peace, prosperity and eternal life. The African-American flag is one of the most influential flags in the world. It has never represented a nation alone, but many countries in Africa use flags derived from the African-American flag. The flag has achieved this despite its relative youth, which only serves to emphasize its importance in African-American culture. Regardless of these facts, the legend lives on and the first flag of the revolutionary period is known as “The Flag of Betsy Ross”…
